List of Ingredients




Pastry Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened*
1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons cold water
Filling Ingredients:

1/2 cup jam or preserves
3 tablespoons finely chopped nuts
1/8 teaspoon lemon or almond extract
Glaze Ingredients:

3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon lemon or almond extract
3 to 4 teaspoons water



Recipe



Combine flour, sugar and salt in large bowl; add butter and cream cheese. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add water; continue beating just until dough forms. Shape dough into a ball; divide in half. Flatten each half; wrap in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate until firm (at least 3 hours).

Combine all filling ingredients in small bowl; set aside.

Heat oven to 375°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface, one-half at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut dough with floured 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter. Place cookies 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon filling in center of each round. Lift up edges of each circle at 3 points; pinch points together very firmly, forming a triangle and leaving center open.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. (Tarts will open slightly as they bake.) Remove from cookie sheets. Cool completey.

Combine powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract and enough water for desired glazing consistency in small bowl. Drizzle over tarts.

*Substitute LAND O LAKES® Soft Baking Butter with Canola Oil right from the refrigerator.

TIP: If necessary, cut large pieces of fruit in jam into smaller pieces.
