Pecan Tassies (For Two)

First, make the dough: combine with an electric mixer the softened butter and cream cheese. Add the flour and beat until incorporated. It might not come together into a dough just yet; use your hands to clump it together into a ball. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, grease 8 cups in a mini muffin pan with the extra butter, and preheat the oven to 350ºF. Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized balls, then press the dough in the cups.

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, brown sugar, whiskey and pecans. Divide this mixture evenly among the dough cups.

Bake for 20 minutes. The pecan filling with puff up and rise above the edges of the dough. Yummy!
