Pecan Tassies

Everyone seems to convey their ain favorite Pecan Tassie recipe, but the crust inwards 99% of the recipes out there is the same..... flour, butter together with cream cheese.

This year, I added just a niggling extra something to the crust business office of the recipe together with it made a HUGE divergence to the overall cookie, they were a large hit.

Tassie Crust
1 loving cup butter (room temperature)
6 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cream the butter together with cream cheese (with electrical mixer) until it is calorie-free together with fluffy. Add rest of the ingredients and rhythm out until the dough comes cleanly away from the within walls of your mixing bowl. Flatten dough into a disk, twine inwards plastic together with chill for ane hour.


Tassie Filling
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1 3/4 cups calorie-free brownish sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 loving cup coarsely chopped pecans

Beat the eggs until real good mixed together with lemon colored. Stir inwards everything else.


ASSEMBLYRoll pastry into 1 inch balls together with house them into an ungreased mini-muffin pan. Using your fingers, press the balls of dough into the bottom of each loving cup together with upwards the sides. (I purpose the floured halt of my rolling pivot to press the dough into house instead of my fingers). Put a few chopped pecans inwards the bottom of each pastry shell together with come about amongst nigh a tablespoon of filling. (see note)

Bake inwards pre-heated 375F oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden together with the filling is set, yet even together with therefore a niggling soft inwards the center. Remove from oven together with sit the pan on a wire rack for nigh 10 minutes earlier y'all attempt to elevator them out. Lift tassies out of pan together with cool on a wire rack.

NOTE: Keep inwards heed that the filling puffs a little as it bakes, together with therefore don't overfill the unbaked shells. If y'all overfill them, they volition live harder to larn out. For those stubborn Tassies that desire to stick, merely purpose the tip of a knife to help y'all elevator them out of the pan.
