Ingredients
1 cup margarine
6 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1-1/4 cups dark brown sugar, packed
1-1/2 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
3/4 cups chopped pecans
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 350° F.
- In a stand mixer, cream together margarine and cream cheese until fluffy. Beat in flour, a little at a time, until a smooth dough ball is formed.
- Roll dough into small balls, then press dough into a mini muffin pan, making sure the dough is even on the bottom and the sides.
- In another bowl, mix together eggs, brown sugar, butter, vanilla and salt. Mix in pecans. Using a small spoon, fill each crust about 2/3 full with pecan mixture.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until crust turns slightly brown and filling has puffed up. Cool and store in an air-tight container.
