PECAN TASSIES
A cross between a shortbread cookie and a bite of pecan pie, a pecan tassie is the kind of bite-size dessert that offers just the right amount of decadence in an adorable package. The dough that surrounds the filling is made out of a simple blend of butter, cream cheese, flour, and ground pecans. Because there's no sugar in the dough, it's entirely savory-buttery, nutty, and slightly tangy from the cream cheese-making a rich base that complements the sweet pecan filling. Cream cheese in the dough also makes the pastry itself very soft. Just like a pecan pie, the pastry supporting the sweet filling of these cookies is made to be a savory contrast so the dessert isn't overwhelming. As for the components that comprise the filling, it's a scrumptious mix of brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and bourbon. These robust ingredients mingle into a cocktail of flavors perfect for the unmistakable richness of toasted pecans. The maple syrup lends a unique edge that isn't common in pecan pie, but it's this addition that gives the pecan tassie it's unique taste, distinguishing it from other pecan-based desserts. Perfect to keep around the house or to serve at a party, bake these pecan tassies for a treat that's as simple as a cookie and as decadent as a pie.

Steps:
- Make Dough: Place 1/2 cup pecans in a food processor and blitz until finely ground. Set aside. In a bowl, beat together butter and cream cheese until fully incorporated. Add flour and ground pecans and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Use your hands to press the dough into a solid mass. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough into each muffin cup. Use your fingers to evenly press dough into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup. Transfer muffin tin to freezer while making the Filling.
- Make Filling: Whisk together egg, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and bourbon until sugar is dissolved and mixture is homogenous. Remove muffin tray from freezer. Place 1 teaspoon of chopped pecans in each of the muffin cups. Pour the Filling over the pecans until it almost completely fills the pastry cups. Bake until the filling has puffed and the pastry has lightly browned, 20 to 24 minutes. Allow to cool before removing pecan tassies from muffin pan with an offset spatula.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease your mini muffin tin. Roll out the pie crusts and cut with a circle cookie cutter, or I used a child's cup (from Ikea) about 3 inches in diameter. Press the pie crust into each cup in the muffin tin.
- Sprinkle a small amount of chopped pecans into each pie crust.
- In a medium size bowl combine the sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, butter, and eggs. Stir to combine.
- Carefully pour about 2 tablespoons of the syrup into each pie crust, be careful not to get the syrup along the edges of the pie crust, this will make them stick when you go to take them out.
- Bake for about 22-25 minutes. Mine baked perfect at 23 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Carefully remove from the muffin tin, if you need use a butter knife to slide along the side of the pies to loosen. Give a little twist and pull them out.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
- For the dough: Add the butter and cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream together until smooth and combined, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix in the flour until just combined. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- When the dough is cold and firm, portion it into 2 dozen balls. Add each ball to a tassie pan or a mini muffin pan and, using a tamper dipped in flour, press the dough so that it forms a cup. Refrigerate the dough cups for 30 minutes.
- To make the filling, cream the egg, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, allspice, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the filling to a liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.
- Sprinkle the pecans amongst the refrigerated dough cups. Pour the filling evenly over the pecans.
- Place over indirect heat and bake at 350 degrees F until golden brown and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely before lightly dusting with confectioners' sugar. Enjoy!
- (Alternatively, you can bake the pecan tassies in a 350 degrees F oven for 20 to 25 minutes.)

GLUTEN FREE PECAN TASSIES
This is a wonderful gluten free version of the Pecan Tassies that everyone loves to enjoy. They are a blessing for those celiacs that love pecan pie with a flakey crust! Plus everyone can enjoy them - You won't believe that they are gluten free! Optional Touches -- Lightly touch the bottoms of the baked tassies onto a plate filled with sugar (It gives it a bit of a sugar cookie taste) or add a touch of cool whip to the top of each.
