We have lots of opportunities to bake in December: Cookie trays to the businesses in town that support us – assemble and deliver on Thursday, Dec 8 at 10am; pecan pie muffins for the Luminaria Beach Walk on Saturday, Dec 10; cookies to our troops to be packed and mailed on Wednesday, Dec 14 at 10am – package everything in snack-size bags.

Pecan Pie Muffins

1 c brown sugar
2 eggs
2/3 c melted butter (not margarine)
½ c flour
1 c small pecan pieces

Mix all ingredients together. Spray non-stick mini muffin pan. Fill 2/3 full. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes (mine cook in 12 min) or until brown around the edges. Remove from pan while still warm.
