Pecan Tassies

This is an old Pampered Chef recipe and I love it. Super easy and yet comes out like a million dollars!

Pecan Tassies

Tart Shells-
½ cup butter, softened
1 (3oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1 cup flour

Filling-
2 tblsp butter, melted
¾ cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 ½ cups chopped pecans

Beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add flour. Mix until a soft dough forms. Cover. Chill at least one hour (or overnight). Preheat oven to 350. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place balls of dough into cups of ungreased mini-muffin pan. Press into dough to form a tart shell (use something round like the back of a wooden spoon). For filling, combine all ingredients. Mix well. Fill tart shells evenly with filling mixture. Bake 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar when completely cool.
