PECAN TASSIES
DOUGH:
2 c. flour

1 c. butter

6 oz. cream cheese
Mix together and roll into balls the size of walnuts. Press into Tassie pans with fingers. The tassie pans are the mini cup cake pans.
FILLING:
2 eggs

2 tbsp. melted butter

1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 c. brown sugar

1 c. chopped pecans
Mix filling together and spoon into dough lined cups. Place 1 teaspoon pecans on top of each tassie. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Makes 4 dozen.
