Pecan Tassie Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pecan Tassie Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give your mini tart or muffin pans a light greasing to ensure easy removal later.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, grab your electric mixer and blend together the butter and cream cheese until they’re perfectly smooth and creamy.

3. Step 3

   Next, gradually add in the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until you have a delightful, smooth dough that’s ready to work with.

4. Step 4

   Now, take small portions of the dough and roll them into little balls.

5. Step 5

   Press these balls into the bottoms and up the sides of your prepared pans to create lovely little crusts that will hold all the delicious filling.

6. Step 6

   In a separate medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

7. Step 7

   Mix everything together until it’s nice and smooth, then fold in the chopped pecans for that irresistible crunch.

8. Step 8

   Spoon this pecan mixture into each crust, filling them about two-thirds full to allow for a little puffing during baking.

9. Step 9

   Place your pans in the preheated oven and let them bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the crusts turn a beautiful golden brown and the filling puffs up just right.

10. Step 10

    Once they’re done, let them cool in the pans for a few minutes before gently transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you anticipate the delicious treats you’ve just created!.
