Incredible Gluten Free Mini Pecan Pies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup gluten-free flour, sifted
1 egg
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter, melted
2/3 cup pecans, in pieces
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

preheat oven to 325*.
mix cream cheese and butter together, stir in flour, chill dough in fridge for 1 hour.
Shape dough into balls and place in muffin tins, press dough up the sides and bottom of the muffin cups ( i usually wear a thin latex glove to stop my fingers sticking to the dough, and you have to work fairly quickly while the dough is chilled and still firm ) this amount usually makes 9 little pies.
Sprinkle half the pecans into dough lined muffin cups.
Beat together the egg, 1 tbsp melted butter, salt and vanilla until smooth.
Spoon filling into cups and top with remaining pecans.
Bake at 325* for 25 minutes.
Cool completely before removing pies from muffin tins.
