The original recipe name of these little beauties is Tea Time Tossils.\u00a0 That name just doesn’t fit…what’s a tossil, anyways? So I changed it to Pecan Tartlets.\u00a0 A friend of mine gave me this recipe 10 or so years ago and I stuffed it in my recipe box along with all those other recipes with good intentions.\u00a0 Occasionally I would run across it and thought of making them.\u00a0 Then one day a few years ago, I finally made them and am I ever sorry I didn’t make them sooner.\u00a0 All those wasted years…wah!<\/p>\n

PECAN TARTLETS<\/p>\n

1 3oz pkg. cream cheese
1\/2 C. butter, softened
1 C. flour
1 egg
3\/4 C. brown sugar
1 T. butter, softened
Dash of salt
1 tsp. real vanilla
2\/3 C. pecans, coarsely chopped<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.<\/p>\n

Pastry:\u00a0 Let cream cheese and butter soften to room temperature (I never remember to do this, so I microwaved them both for about 20 seconds).\u00a0 Blend together with the flour.\u00a0 Chill about 1 hour (um…yeah that didn’t happen either.\u00a0 I put it in the freezer while I made the filling). Once chilled (sorta), shape into 2 dozen 1 inch balls and place one ball into each cup of a mini muffin pan.\u00a0 Press dough onto the bottom and sides of the cups.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Filling:\u00a0 Beat together the egg, sugar, 1T. butter, vanilla and salt until smooth. Divide the nuts evenly into the cups (oops, I accidentally threw them into the filling, so I stirred it all up and then filled each cup). Spoon filling into cups. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until filling is set.\u00a0 Cool before removing from pans.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Even with all my distractions and alterations, they turned out great!<\/p>\n
