Yield: 60 cookies
Ingredients
- 16 oz Softened Butter
- 12 oz Cream cheese
- 4 Cups All-purpose flour
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 ½ Cups packed brown sugar
- 3 Tbsp melted butter
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups chopped pecans
- powdered sugar for dusting the finished cookies, if desired
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together the butter and cream cheese until smooth and well blended. Mix in the flour, a cup at a time, until you get a smooth dough.
- Drop dough, by the Tbsp (if you have a Tbsp cookie scooper, this works great to portion the dough), and press into the bottoms and sides of a mini muffin pan, as if you were making little pie crusts within the individual muffin cups.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt. Once the mixture is well combined, stir in the pecans. Use a spoon to fill each of the crusts 2/3 full with the filling mixture.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tassie's shell is light brown, and the filling has puffed up. Cool, and carefully remove from pans. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
