A family favorite during the holidays. Easy to prepare and a fun dessert to make with kids.
Ingredients
Crust
- ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- nonstick cooking spray
Filling
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup finely chopped pecans
Directions
Step 1
Beat butter and cream cheese for crust with an electric mixer until smooth. Add flour and mix until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Remove dough from the refrigerator. Spray a 24-cup mini-muffin tin with nonstick spray.
Step 3
Whisk brown sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla for filling in a bowl until smooth.
Step 4
Roll dough into twenty four 1-inch balls. Press each ball into a muffin cup, so it spreads evenly on the bottom and up the sides. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon pecans into each muffin cup, then top with about the same amount of egg mixture.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from the muffin tins.
