CRANBERRY ORANGE TASSIES
I love tassies! They are like the perfect little bite of pie, but sort of a cookie all at the same time. I got this recipe from one of the special holiday cookie publications that you see at the checkout counter. I somehow always get sucked into buying them! I have also made these with dried cherries and dried blueberries. I haven't decided which is my favorite, I love all three. I am going to post the recipe as written, which calls for refrigerated pie crust. However, I have used the dough from Recipe #118431 and it worked just fine.

- Per the package instructions, let the piecrust stand at room temperature. Unroll the crust and cut out 24 rounds usings a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter.
- Preheat oven to 375*F. Using a tamper press the dough into ungreased mini-muffing pans (you can also press the dough by hand, but the tamper makes things go much faster.).
- Spoon cranberry filling into pastry cups until almost full (do not overfill because the filling will make a mess.).
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown. Carefully run a small knife around the edges of the tassies in the pan. Carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:
- Combine dough ingredients.
- Chill for 1 hour.
- Form into 1 inch balls and press into miniature muffin tins.
- Combine filling ingredients.
- Spoon into shells.
- Bake 325 degrees for 40 minutes or until lightly browned.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen cranberries. Fresh cranberries are best, but frozen cranberries can be used if they are thawed and drained before using.
- Make sure the cranberries are chopped finely. This will help them to cook evenly and distribute their flavor throughout the tassies.
- Don't overcook the cranberries. They should be cooked until they are just softened, but not mushy.
- Use a variety of nuts in the filling. This will add flavor and texture to the tassies.
- Don't overfill the tassie shells. The filling will expand as it bakes, so it's important to leave some room at the top of the shells.
- Bake the tassies until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. This will usually take about 20 minutes.
Conclusion:
Cranberry tassies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique cranberry tassie recipe that will be loved by all.
