Pecan Tassies Cookie Recipe

These Pecan Tassies are a cross between a shortbread cookie and pecan pie.  Enjoy the recipe as early as Thanksgiving because they are super yummy with dates and pecan nuts.

Pecan Tassies Recipe Baking Tips

This is a recipe you will find yourself making during the holiday season.  For Example, the filling is similar to that of pecan pie therefore I like to make these for Thanksgiving.  It is true, I don’t always like pie so these treats are perfect!  In conclusion I share with you a few tips to make this recipe easier to make even though they are simple to put together.  

Allow a few hours to put these simple treats together.  You will have to let the dough rest while mixing up the filling.   In the past, I have made these a few weeks in advance and store in freezer.  The dough got a little flaky but it saved time making so far in advance.  

It is best to make the dough in a mixer.  I use my large KitchenAid stand mixer for this recipe to be sure the ingredients are well mixed.
