1 cup margarine or butter, softened
1 tablespoon margarine, melted
1 package (3 ounce) cream cheese, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 recipe - 1 egg
3/4 cup (packed) brown sugar
1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

Preheat the oven toe 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Beat softened margarine or butter and cream cheese until thoroughly combined. Stir in flour.
Using 24 ungreased 1 3/4 inch mini muffin cups, press a rounded teaspoon of pastry evenly into the bottom and up the sides of each cup.
To make filling, beat the egg and mix in the brown sugar, melted margarine or butter and the chopped pecans.
Fill each pastry-lined muffin cup with about 1 heaping teaspoon of pecan filling.
Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for about 30 minutes or until pastry is golden and filling is puffed. Cool slightly in the muffin cups, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
