Cream Cheese Pastry
- 3 ounces cream cheese softened, at room temp
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Pecans
- 2/3 cup finely chopped pecans
Filling
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup brown sugar

- 1 tablespoon whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, blend the cream cheese and butter together until smooth, with no lumps.
- Mix in the flour until completely combined. Chill for an hour.
- Preheat your oven to 325 °F. Get out a 24 well mini muffin tin.
- Once the mixture has chilled, divide and shape into 24 balls. Press the dough into each one, into the bottom and up the sides.
- Sprinkle half of the pecans into the bottom of each pastry.
- Mix together the filling ingredients until completely combined.
- Divide the filling between the cups. Divide and sprinkle the remaining pecans on top.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the filling has set and the pastry is golden brown.

Notes
- The raisin lovers can throw a handful of raisins in these as well (not traditional, but delicious!)
