These are easy to make and they taste great -
These were so yummy. They seemed a little crumbly when they first came out of the oven but upon cooling they were perfect. I made larger tarts because I do not have a mini muffin tray. They were a crowd pleaser. Thank you Truebrit! -
Yum! Thank you for sharing this recipe, truebrit. They turned out great. Where you said to roll the dough into ½ balls, I accidentally read 1 ½ (oops) so they were slightly larger and made less but that didn’t take away from the taste. My fiancé and I gobbled ‘em up. I’ll be keeping this recipe.

These were a traditional easter cookie in my house for many years. There were barely enough to make it to the table once I found my mom's hiding spot after baking them! Love this cookie!
