Time 2h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
nonstick cooking spray
¾ cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup finely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Whisk brown sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla for filling in a bowl until smooth.
  • 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.
  • 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.
