Pecan Tarts

Print This Page

These pecan tarts are like mini pecan pies with
a custard center & chewy topping.
Delicious!
These were my favorite Christmas cookie growing up.

Pastry:
1/2 cup softened butter
3 oz. softened cream cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour

1. Cream butter & cream cheese with hand or stand mixer.
2. Blend in flour.
3. Chill.
4. Form into 24 balls. Press into mini muffin tins or pastry tart pan. Grease pan well.

Filling:
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 T. melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla
pinch of salt
2/3 cup finely chopped pecans

1. Mix filling ingredients together & fill tart shells 3/4 of the way full. If they are too full, they will cook over & make a big mess in your oven.
2. Bake 20 - 25 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
3. Cool slightly & remove carefully with a table knife to loosen edges.

Best Mixer!
