Nut Tassies

Shared with me by: Flo C (former neighbor)

Ingredients

  • 2 c. all-purpose unbleached white flour
  • 6 oz. low fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 c. butter, softened
  • chopped pecans (1/2 t. for each one)

Filling

  • 2 eggs, well beaten
  • 1-1/2 c. brown sugar
  • 1/2 t. vanilla
  • 2 Tbls. melted butter

Instructions

Mix flour, cream cheese and butter; refrigerate a couple of hours. Roll into small balls. Dip each ball lightly in flour and press into mini-muffin tins (I use my pampered chef tool to make tarts).

For filling: Beat eggs and add brown sugar, melted butter and vanilla. Put 1 tablespoon of filling in each cup; sprinkle 1/2 t. chopped pecans on top.

Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Cool in pan 5 minutes; remove to cool.

Place each one in a mini-muffin paper.
