Aunt Sheri's Pecan Tassies

These were a favorite treat at Aunt Sheri's house.  You'll want to buy a tart maker from Pampered Chef for these.

Dough mixture:
2 sticks butter, room temperature
2 cups flour
6 oz cream cheese, room temperature

*Blend all ingredients together until smooth.  Using mini muffin pans, put a small amount of dough into each well and push the tart maker into it.  This will make the dough rise up onto the sides of the well, make a mini-tart.

Filling:
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons melted butter

*Mix together until just blended, without over-mixing.  Fill prepared muffin pan wells with filling.  Bake a 325 for 20-25 minutes.  Cool before removing from pans. Gobble up!
