Pecan tassies are tasty cookie-cup treats that combine the buttery deliciousness of a shortbread cookie and the caramel-y, nutty filling of a pecan pie. These bite-sized sweets are the perfect addition to any holiday dessert table or a tray full of Christmas cookies<\/a>!<\/p>\n The shortbread crust in our pecan tassies recipe uses a rich blend of cream cheese and butter. The filling is a sugary, scrumptious mix of brown sugar, butter, a bit of vanilla and salt, and the perfect amount of nutty pecans. With the ease of a cookie and the deliciousness of a piece of pie, these pecan tassies will be cleared off the serving tray before you know it.<\/p>\n Pecan tassies are miniature treats that have a shortbread crust shell cup and a pecan pie-like filling.\u00a0A pecan tassies recipe is just one of many popular tassie recipes<\/a>. \u201cTassie\u201d comes from the word for \u201csmall cup\u201d in Scottish, and these small cups can be filled with sweet or savory fillings, like in our German chocolate tassies<\/a> or broccoli cheddar tassies<\/a>. However you serve your tassies, they\u2019re a welcomed finger food at any party.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the flour. Cover and refrigerate the dough until it\u2019s firm enough to roll, about one hour.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> To ensure a firm, chilled dough, wrap your dough in storage wrap, and flatten it into a disk before chilling it.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. Shape the chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Press each ball evenly into the bottoms and up the sides of a 24 greased mini muffin cups.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Use the bottom of a shot glass or a wooden tamper to help evenly press the dough into each cup. You may need to lightly grease the bottom of the glass if the dough is sticking.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, stir together the egg, brown sugar, butter, vanilla and salt until blended. Fold in 1\/3 cup of the pecans.<\/p>\n Spoon the filling evenly into the muffin cups until the cups are almost<\/em> full. Decorate the tops of muffin cups with the remaining pecans.<\/p>\n Bake until the pecan tassie edges are golden and the filling is puffed, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool the tassies at room temperature in the pans for two minutes. Remove the tassies to wire racks, and let cool completely to room temperature.<\/p>\n To store, allow the pecan tassies to cool completely to room temperature. Place them in an airtight container and, if stacking, layer a sheet of parchment or waxed paper between each tassie stack (this is one of our favorite tips on how to store cookies<\/a>!). Pecan tassies can be stored at room temperature for up to five days or in the fridge for up to two weeks.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze pecan tassies. They\u2019re the perfect make-ahead treat. Freeze room-temperature pecan tassies in freezer-safe containers. If stacking the tassies, layer each stack between waxed paper. Thaw the tassies in their container in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for about one hour.<\/p>\n You can put about 1 tablespoon or so of filling into these pecan tassies\u2014it depends on how well you shape your dough into the muffin cups. Add enough filling to the muffin cups but not so much that they overflow when baking.<\/p>\n Be sure to grease your mini muffin tin very well with baking spray. Doing so, in addition to the butter in the dough, should help these come out of the muffin tin easily with a butter knife or a mini offset spatula. If they stick, just run a sharp knife around the edge of each muffin cup before attempting to remove.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These pecan tassies are very good for parties and special occasions.

My mother made these every year, I made these every year and now my son's girlfriend makes them every year. A few tips to make perfect tassies: 1. Form dough in a ball, cover with cling wrap and refrigerate. When you remove it from the refrig, cut in half, then cut each half in half. You should get 6 tarts from ea. quarter. 2. Cut parchment paper into little strips and place one in each tart form. The paper strip should extend above the rim on each side, making little handles when it's time to remove the tarts from the pan (you're welcome, no more digging these out of the pan!) 3. Form the tart shells atop each parchment strip with a little wooden tool called a tassie tamper. You can find it on Amazon or a kitchen store. When all 24 are formed, place pan back in refrig. to chill while you make the filling. Crust will be flakier if you bake from chilled. 4. I place a half pecan on top of each before baking for a pretty finished look. Bake at 350. Enjoy!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-12-25","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"OlivePopcorn"},"reviewBody":"Excellent recipe.

Chill time can be sped up by dividing the dough and rolling before chilling; or placing the dough on a shallow sheet pan. Also, cook time depends on the type of tin you use. I use a dark non-stick (still needs to be greased for this recipe) and any longer than 15 mins & these would be burnt. Last tip- cream cheese comes in 8oz pkgs...this recipe calls for 6 oz. Make sure you don't just throw the whole pkg in.I also use this dough for individual sized (reg muffin tin) egg quiches which can be frozen and stored for on the go breakfasts.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2019-11-24","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"CyanBug"},"reviewBody":"Ok great recipe loved them.

How much filling should you put in each of the pecan tassies?<\/h3>\n
How can you remove pecan tassies from the muffin tin?<\/h3>\n
How much filling should you put in each of the pecan tassies? <\/h3>Give or take a tablespoon or so to fill these tassies\u2014it depends on how well you shape your dough into the pan. Be sure to add enough filling, but not too much that it overflows when baking.\r\n
How can you remove pecan tassies from the muffin tin? <\/h3>Be sure to grease your mini muffin tin<\/a>. Doing so, in addition to the butter in the dough, should help these come out of the pan easily. If they stick, just run a sharp knife around the edge of each muffin cup. \r\n
How can you make pecan tassies your own? <\/h3>Add you favorite nuts, like walnuts or cashews. You can also try adding mini chocolate chips<\/a> or pineapple and coconut<\/a>.
