Ingredients

• Crust:
• 3 oz package cream cheese (softened)
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine (1 stick-softened NOT MELTED)
• 1 cup flour (all purpose-not self-rising)
• Filling:
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon butter softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2/3 cup coarsely broken pecans.

Preparation

Step 1

Crust:
Blend cream cheese & butter. Stir in flour. Shape into 24 balls. Chill one hour. Place in ungreased pan. (I always spray with Pam) Press evenly against sides and bottom.

Filling:
Mix all together except for pecans. Divide pecans. Put 1/2 in pastries. Fill with mixture and top with remaining pecans.

Bake in slow oven 325 degrees for 25 minutes or until filling is set. Cool before removing from pan.
