How to Make Pecan Pie Tassies

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
**Make the Cream Cheese Crust:** In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces (227g) cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter (softened), and 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour. Mix until a dough forms.
Chill the dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Prepare the mini muffin tins: Spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
Divide and press the dough: Divide the chilled dough into 24 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small ball and press it into the bottom and slightly up the sides of each mini muffin cup.
**Make the Pecan Filling:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup (200g) light corn syrup, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter (melted), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup (100g) pecan halves.
Fill the crusts: Pour the pecan filling into each prepared crust, filling them about 3/4 full.
Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set and slightly darkened around the edges.
Cool and set: Let the tassies cool completely in the muffin tin before serving. Enjoy!
