SCOTTISH WALNUT TASSIES



Scottish Walnut Tassies image

A delicious holiday cookie dessert! These little delights are also called tassies, which comes from the archaic Scottish for cups. A perfect little bite of holiday flavor - crunchy and sticky and sweet, with a mild buttery crust. These little beauties are relatively easy to make, look wonderfully impressive, travel well, and freeze beautifully.

WALNUT TASSIES

We have seen these with pecans, but for some reason the walnuts really change the flavor to a more rich and deeper flavor to me. I use those cute little pastry tins (miniature cupcakes) to put these in (24 to a sheet I believe). I include these in my Christmas bundles each and every year.

Yield about 48 tassies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup butter
2 3oz cream cheese, softened
2 cups flour
1 jar of seedless raspberry jam
1 cup flaked coconut packed firm
3/4 chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Beat the butter and cream cheese until well mixed. Stir in the flour. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. (This step is not needed however it makes the dough more easy to work with) While the dough is chilling, mix the jam, the coconut, and the chopped walnuts together. Shape the dough into small balls. Place them into an ungreased 1 1/2 inch muffin pan.Press dough evenly against bottom and up sides of each muffin cup. Using a spoon, fill the cups with the raspberry mixture. Do not fill all the way up to the top. The filling will not rise and puff like an ordinary pecan tassie does. Bake in a 350 oven for about 15-18 minutes or until the shell is light brown.
