Pecan Tassies

One of my childhood favorites at specail occasions was pecan tassies.  My Grandmother made them and they are mini pecan pies.  This is her recipe. Be prepared to double or triple this recipe.....your family will eat them faster than you can make them!

1 3oz cream cheese(room temp)
1/2 cup butter(room temp)
1 cup glour

Blend together cheese and butter, add flour.  Mix well and shape into 24 balls.  Press balls into mini muffin tins, covering bottom and up the sides of each opening.

1 egg
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon soft butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
dash salt
2/3 cup chopped pecan

Divid pecans evenly between all 24 mini pie shells in muffin tins.  Stir together all remaining ingredients.  I do this in a large measuring cup.  Pour egg/sugar mixture into pie shells, dividing evenly between the 24. Bake at 350 until golden brown.
