These Nut Cookie Tartlets are a delicious way to show your holiday spirit! They are easy to make and only require a few ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. These little tarts are perfect for sharing with friends and family or for giving as gifts.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 6 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
To make the pastry, cream together the butter and cream cheese. Add the 6 tablespoons of white sugar, 2 cups of flour and blend well. Then shape the mixture into balls that are about 1 inch in diameter. Place each ball into a greased tartlet pan and flatten it out. The ball should fill the pan by 3/4.
To make the filling, mix together vanilla, egg, brown sugar and chopped nuts. After flattening each ball of pastry in the tartlet tin, make a thumbprint indentation in the center and fill it with a full 1/2 teaspoon of nut filling.
Bake all of the tarts in a 350 degrees Fahrenheit oven for 17 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Allow them to cool completely before removing them from the pan.
