Easy Pecan Tassie Nut Cups: Bite-Sized Sweet Treats

Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, softened butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the dough forms and is soft but not sticky.
Roll the dough into 24 small balls and press each one into the bottom and up the sides of a mini muffin tin to form little cups.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, melted butter, flour, vanilla extract, and the lightly beaten egg until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the chopped pecans.
Step 3: Fill the Cups
Spoon the pecan filling into each dough-lined cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Allow the pecan tassie nut cups to cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
