Old Fashioned Pecan Tassies with a delicate caramel center and a crunchy pecan topping, packed inside shortbread.
My husband loves homemade pecan pie, but I prefer fruit pies. There’s one way we compromise, and that’s with these bite-size pecan tassies cookies. Have you ever heard of them?
They are little pecan tart pastries containing pecan pieces in a buttery rich pie shell. There’s a few key ingredients we use to give them a rich, unique flavor. These pie bites take a little time to make but are worth every minute.
Ingredients:
For the crust
- 3/4 cup salted butter room temperature, 6 ounces
- 5 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 203 grams
For the filling
- 1 ½ cups dark brown sugar 320 grams
- 2 tablespoons salted butter melted, 29 grams
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon maple extract
- ½ cup finely chopped pecans 68 grams
For topping
- 36 pecan halves
