Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

  • ½ cup butter, softened

  • 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 egg

  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 3 tablespoons chopped walnuts

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cranberries

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together the butter and cream cheese. Mix in the flour until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

  2. While the dough chills, make the filling. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, brown sugar, melted butter and vanilla. Stir in the cranberries and walnuts.

  3. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Roll the dough into 1 inch balls. Press the balls into the cups of mini muffin pans so that the dough covers the bottom and sides. Fill each one with a generous teaspoon of the filling.

  4. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges of the tarts are lightly browned.
