Since I can remember, Mom has made pecan tassies once a year. The batch always makes a lot so they lasted the entire month of December. Pretty much, they're bite-size pecan pies! Leave it to us in the Midwest to figure out how to have pie on a cookie platter! 😂🎄 These are fun to make with the whole family, so start a new tradition this year!

- 2 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 4 tsp vanilla extract

For the pastry:
Place the cream cheese in a mixer. Slice the butter into thin slices and add to the mixer. Cream the cream cheese and butter at high speed until smooth. Add the egg yolk and mix together. Add the flour slowly. Beat until combined into a pastry dough. The dough will be sticky.

To assemble:
Use one rounded teaspoon of dough for each mini tart. Dip fingers in flour and press dough into the tart pan. If a hole is accidentally made, add excess dough to repair.
Place one teaspoon of filling in each tart.
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350°F until golden brown.
