Not sure where this recipe came from originally, but I got it from my mom, who got it from her mom! They are awesome! This recipe makes about 3 dozen.
Crust:
1/2 cup butter(softened)
3 oz cream cheese(softened)
1 cup flour
Filling:
2 eggs
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 tsp vanilla
Cream together the butter and cream cheese until blended. Add flour, and mix well. This should not be sticky. If it's sticky, add 1 TBS flour at a time until not sticky. Roll into small smooth balls and press into mini muffin tins in the shape of cups. Make sure it's not too thin on the bottom.
Break eggs slightly, do not beat. Add vanilla and sugar, mix with fork. Do not beat. Add 3 TBS pecans.
Sprinkle small amount of pecans into crust, then fill with 1 tsp of filling, followed by more pecans.
Bake at 350 until crusts are golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely.
