Ingredients

Crust
1 cup soft butter
1/2 cup sugar, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
Almond Filling
2 eggs, beaten until foamy
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups finely ground almonds (or almond paste)

Preparation

Lightly grease bottom of small muffin tins. Can use regular size muffin tin, but will reduce the amount of tarts produced with no affects to flavor.
Crust:.
Cream butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg, vanilla and flour.
Drop a rounded teaspoon of crust mixture into each greased small muffin cup, pressing batter over bottom and up around sides, leaving inside hollow; a coating 1/4 inch thick.
Almond Filling:.
With electric mixer, gradually add sugar to beaten eggs, beating until incorporated. Fold in ground almonds (or almond paste) and divide equally over crust.
Bake until set and browned at 325 degrees 25 to 30 minutes.
