Tart Shells - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
FILLING
2 tablespoons butter, melted
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup pecans, chopped

Preparation

For tart shells, beat butter and cream cheese in small bowl, until smooth.
Add flour and salt and mix, until a soft dough forms.
Cover; chill at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls.
Place balls of dough into cups of ungreased mini-muffin pan.
Dip mini tart shaper in flour; press into dough to form tart shell.
(Use floured fingers to press dough up sides of muffin cups, if you do not have a tart shaper.) For filling, combine remaining ingredients, except pecans in a small bowl; mix well.
Sprinkle pecans into each tart shell.
Fill tart shells evenly with filling mixture.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown.
Remove from muffin pan to cooling rack (loosen edges with a knife, if needed).
Cool completely.
