Cookie of the Day: Pecan Tassies

These miniature pies are a holiday favorite, especially in the Southern United States.  A beautifully tender cream-cheese-based crust holds a luscious filling of minced pecan and gooey brown sugar.  You can even add chocolate chips!  My mother drizzles each bite-size tart with melted chocolate which adds another layer of scrumptious flavor.  For all the joy of a pecan or derby pie in one handy package, a Pecan Tassie is the perfect Christmas cookie.
