Mini Pecan Pies

I remember my Mom making these during the Christmas holidays but I make them all year round now. I think the ratio of filling to pastry is just perfect and not too sweet like a regular Pecan pie can be sometimes.They are the perfect size for a party and super simple to make!

Pastry
1C flour
1/4t salt
1/2C butter
41/2 oz. cream cheese
Beat together with mixer and chill

Filling
1 lg slightly beaten
3/4C brown sugar
1t vanilla
1T melted butter
1t bourbon
1C chopped pecans
Mix egg and br. sugar then add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

Roll the dough into inch balls and then pat the balls into a shell in the mini muffin tins. Using a teaspoon add the filling 3/4 the way up the shell.
Bake at 425 for 10 min. Or until the dough is a golden brown. Cool slightly then remove to a wire rack to cool.
