- 4 ounces light cream cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp confectioners' sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Mix softened butter and cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Blend in flour, a bit at a time, confectioners' sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Form dough into a disk. Cover in plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 3 hours.
- Heat oven to 325° F.
Divide dough into 24 balls; press into two 12-cup mini-muffin tins, pushing dough up over edges. Refrigerate.
- Mix brown sugar, chocolate, egg, melted butter, vanilla and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a bowl until combined. Divide half the pecans among muffin cups; top with brown sugar mixture. Sprinkle remaining pecans on top. Bake 20 minutes, or until dough is lightly golden around edges. Let sit 5 minutes. Run tip of knife around cup edges to loosen. Remove when cool enough to handle; transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
