Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin pan.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, and cream cheese for the dough. Mix well until a smooth dough forms. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
-
While the dough chills, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, mix the chopped cranberries, pecans, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
-
Once the dough has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.
-
Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out circles from the dough and gently press them into the mini muffin pan cups to form a pastry shell.
-
Fill each pastry shell with a spoonful of the cranberry pecan filling mixture.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry edges are golden brown and the filling is set.
-
Allow the tassies to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cool, these Cranberry Pecan Tassies are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for a few days.
