Lemon Cookie Tarts image

Is it a cookie or is it a tart? My favorite is lemon. I have made these tarts filled with recipe #213080. Also banana cream or coconut pie filling will work nicely to.

  • Remove tart shells from oven working quickly and using the back of a rounded 1/2 tsp measuring spoon gently press a shallow indentation in each shell. (Don't let them cool or it will be harder to get them to form a shell).
  • Bake 2-3 minutes longer or until edges of shells are firm and golden.
  • Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  • Carefully remove from pan and transfer to cooling rack, if they need more shaping you can do that now.
