INGREDIENTS

  • Crust

    • 🧈 ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
    • 🧀 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
    • 🌾 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • For greasing

    • Nonstick cooking spray

  • Filling

    • 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

1

Beat butter and cream cheese for the crust with an electric mixer until smooth. Add flour and mix until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate dough for 1 hour.

2

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Remove dough from the refrigerator. Spray a 24-cup mini-muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.

3

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

4

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.

5

Bake in preheated oven until filling is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from the muffin tins.
