Instructions
- Beat 1 cup butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy. Add flour gradually, beating at low speed. Shape mixture into 48 small balls and place on a baking sheet. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 mini-muffin pans. Press a dough ball into each cup in mini muffin tins to make pastry shells.
- Whisk brown sugar, eggs, 2 tablespoons melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl. Stir in 1 1/4 cups pecans; spoon mixture into tart shells until 2/3 full. Top with remaining pecans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
