Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

To Make the Pastry: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Gradually add the granulated sugar and mix until well combined. (2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Slowly incorporate the flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. If the dough is too sticky, lightly flour your hands. (10 minutes)

05

Step
15 mins

Place each ball into a greased tartlet pan or mini muffin tin and flatten it with your fingers, pressing the dough to cover about 3/4 of the pan. (15 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

To Make the Filling: In a separate bowl, mix together the vanilla extract, egg, brown sugar, and chopped nuts until well combined. (5 minutes)

07

Step
5 mins

Create a small indentation in the center of each flattened cookie dough ball with your thumb. (5 minutes)

08

Step
10 mins

Fill each indentation with a generous 1/2 teaspoon of the nut filling. (10 minutes)

09

Step
20 mins

Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 17 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown and the filling is set. (20 minutes)

10

Step
30 mins

Cool the tartlets completely in the pan before carefully removing them. (30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, toast the walnuts lightly before chopping. This brings out their natural oils and enhances their nutty taste.
Don't overmix the pastry dough! Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tougher crust. Mix only until the ingredients are just combined.
These tartlets freeze beautifully! Once completely cooled, store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw completely before serving.
Experiment with different nuts! Pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts would all be delicious in this recipe.
A sprinkle of sea salt on top of the baked tartlets adds a lovely contrast to the sweetness.
