Miniature Pecan Pies image

My Mom has made these for years and it's always a favorite. **I have adjusted this recipe again on 11/24/11, as the filling was still making too much in relation to the dough **

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

CRUST
2 c flour
1 c oleo (margarine), softened
6 oz cream cheese, softened
FILLING
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2/3 tsp vanilla
2/3 c karo clear syrup
1 Tbsp butter, softened
1/2 c sugar
1/4 c brown sugar
1/4 tsp lemon flavor
2 1/2 c finely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Mix crust ingredients together. Form them into small balls. Using a mini-muffin pan, drop balls into muffin tins and then using your thumb, press down, creating indentations for the filling.
  • 2. Spoon about 1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon of finely chopped pecans into each miniature crust.
  • 3. Combine eggs, vanilla, karo syrup, butter, sugar, brown sugar and lemon flavor (all filling ingredients except the pecans). Pour filling mixture over pecans so that each crust is about 3/4 full.
  • 4. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool.
