Cranberry Nut Tarts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cranberries

Preparation

In a medium bowl, stir together the butter and cream cheese. Mix in the flour until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
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.
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.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges of the tarts are lightly browned.
