Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Butter
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 Egg
• 0.75 cup Pecans, finely chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup of softened butter, and cream cheese. Mix until a soft and pliable dough forms.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 24 equal portions and roll each portion into a small ball.

Step 4

Press each dough ball evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the mini muffin tin cups, forming small crusts.

Step 5

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, melted butter, and salt until smooth.

Step 6

Stir in the finely chopped pecans until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the pecan filling into each prepared dough cup, filling them just below the rim.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tassies are golden and the filling is set.

Step 9

Remove the tassies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
