How to Make Pecan Tassies Mini Pecan Pies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine and 8 ounces cream cheese until light and fluffy.
- Gradually beat in 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, until a smooth dough forms.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- While the dough chills, prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Stir in 2 cups pecan halves.
- Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Press each ball into the bottom and up the sides of greased mini muffin tins or tart pans, ensuring some dough extends slightly over the edges.
- Fill each crust about 2/3 full with the pecan filling. (Note: Filling will puff up during baking.)
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let cool completely in the pans before carefully removing. Enjoy!
