Pecan Tea Gems

These make the perfect Thanksgiving treat if you prefer multiple desserts and like a taste of them all.  These are basically mini pecan pies.  Also great for holiday parties and baking.

Pecan Tea Gems
3-oz. cream cheese
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. flour

Mix together.  Chill for 20-30 minutes.

Filling
1 egg
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 T. butter
1 t. vanilla
dash salt
3/4 c. finely chopped pecans

Fill mini muffin cups with crust. Press up against the sides and prick bottom with fork.  Add a little bit of filling - it will rise some, but if you fill it too much it will bubble out and make a big mess.  Bake at 325 for 25 minutes.
