How to Make Kraft's Pecan Tassies

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium bowl, cream together 8 ounces (225g) of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup (115g) of unsalted butter (or margarine) until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add 1 1/2 cups (180g) of all-purpose flour, mixing until a dough forms.
Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Divide the chilled dough into 4 equal portions.
Roll each portion into 12 small balls (48 balls total).
Press each ball into the bottom and up the sides of a miniature muffin tin.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Stir in 1 cup (100g) of chopped pecans.
Spoon the pecan mixture evenly into the prepared pastry shells.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the filling is set.
Let cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing the tassies.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve.
