List of Ingredients

1 stick (1/2 cup) plus 1 Tblsp. butter, softened
3 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/8 tsp. vanilla extract


Recipe

In a bowl combine 1 stick of butter and the cream cheese. Stir in the flour, and form dough into a ball. Divide dough into 24 pieces and press into the bottom and up the sides of 24 small (2 Tblsp. size) muffin tins. In a small bowl beat the egg lightly with the brown sugar and stir in pecans, the remaining 1 Tblsp. butter, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Divide the filling among the pastry-lined tins and bake at 350 degrees F. for 25 minutes, or until the filling is puffed slightly and the pastry is golden. Let cool on a wire rack. Makes 24 confections.
