Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup flour, gluten-free *I used Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Flour
  • 1/4 cup graham crumbs, gluten-free *I used Kinnikinnick Graham Style Cracker Crumbs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Cherry Pie Filling *You can use a gluten-free grocery store brand or your own homemade
Glaze
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese.
  2. In a second bowl, combine flour, graham crumbs, and salt.
  3. Add flour mixture to butter and cream cheese. Blend until combined. Place dough in refrigerator for 1 hour, or until chilled through.
  4. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease mini muffin pans.
  5. Using a small scoop or spoon, form 1-inch balls with dough and place in muffin cups.
  6. Using your fingers, gently press dough balls to form cups.
  7. Using a teaspoon, add cherry filling to each cup, being careful to not overfill.
  8. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Use an offset spatula or sharp knife to carefully remove the tassies to a cooling rack.
  9. Once cooled, combine glaze ingredients and drizzle over tassies.
  10. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

You can freeze the tassies if desired, after baking.
