Ingredients

Cream Cheese Cookie Crust

Lemon Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

  1. For the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, combine all of the crust ingredients. Pulse until the mixture forms a ball.
  2. Lightly spray a 24-cup mini-muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Shape the dough into 2-teaspoon sized balls. Press each ball down into the centers and up the sides of each cavity. A tamper or shot glass makes easy work of this, but your hands will also do the job just fine. Cover and chill for 1 hour, or until the dough is firm.
  3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
  4. Bake the crusts until lightly browned all over and golden at the edges, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  5. For the filling: In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat all of the filling ingredients until completely smooth. Use a scoop to divide the batter among the cooled crusts.
  6. Bake at 350°F until the filling is set, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer muffin pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Lemon Tassies may be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
