Ingredients

  • 3 oz - cream cheese
  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 - whole eggs, well beaten
  • 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

How To Make pecan tartlets

  • Step 1
    To make shells, beat cheese and butter together until creamy. Cut in flour as for pastry. Form mixture into 48 1-inch balls, making them all the same size. Place 1 ball into each section of miniature muffin tins. Press the balls of dough evenly with your fingers to complete cover the bottom and sides of each cup in the tin.
  • Step 2
    Combine all filling ingredients together thoroughly. Spoon filling into shells leaving a little head room to allow for expansion as they bake. Bake at 350F for about 25 minutes. Cool in pans for 5 minutes. Remove carefully; a sharp knife is beneficial here.
