Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 3 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini paper baking cups.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and cream cheese. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter and cream cheese mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into 24 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and press it evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the mini muffin cups to form a pastry shell.
In another bowl, mix together the peanut butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the filling is smooth and well combined.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter filling into each prepared pastry shell. Fill each shell almost to the top but not overflowing.
Sprinkle a few milk chocolate chips onto the top of each filled tassie, pressing them lightly into the filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the pastry are golden and the filling is set.
Remove the tassies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, lightly sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant finishing touch.
