How to make it

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, beat together butter and cream cheese until smooth. Stir in flour just until combined. Divide dough evenly into 24 balls. Press balls into ungreased mini muffin tins (pushing up sides, but not going above rim of pan), to form crusts. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, egg, 1 T. melted butter, and vanilla. Stir in pecans. Spoon batter evenly into pastry lined tins. Bake 25-30 mins. or until pastry is golden and the filling is puffed up. Carefully remove from pan (you may need to run the thin edge of a knife around each cup) to wire rack and cool completely. Cookies can be served plain, lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar, or lightly drizzled with melted chocolate.
  • Note: The 3 oz. packages of cream cheese have been discontinued and are no longer available, so you will have to buy an 8 oz. package and, using the measurement guide on the side of the wrapper, cut 3 T. from it to get the amount needed for the crusts.
