PECAN TREATS

Category: Desserts

Pastry
1 cup butter
1 (3 oz) pkg cream cheese
1 cup sifted flour

Filling
1 egg, well beaten
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp butter, melted
1 cup chopped pecans

For best results, mix the pastry and filling by hand. Cream butter and cheese until light and fluffy. Add flour and beat until blended. Place about one tsp of mixture into a miniature muffin pan. Press with fingertips, forming a shell in each muffin cup.

Mix all the filling ingredients together. Spoon filling into shells. Bake about 20 minutes at 350 until browned.
