Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter, softened
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups chopped pecans

I've tried many pecan tassie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The crust is flaky and the filling is sweet and nutty.
