This recipe is one of my favorites. It can be made for holidays, wedding receptions...or anytime a special dessert is needed. Michelle Mirich, Youngstown, Ohio Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups butter, softened |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
filling: |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed |
maraschino cherries, quartered |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy. Combine the flour and confectionersâ sugar; add to creamed mixture and beat until a soft dough forms. Shape into 1-in. balls. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of ungreased 2-in. tart pans or miniature muffin cups.
2. If using tart pans, place on baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
3. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Add whipped topping; beat until smooth. Pipe into tart shells. Top each with a cherry piece. Yield: about 4-1/2 dozen.
