Remove the top layer of plastic wrap and flip the dough into an ungreased tart or pie pan. With the plastic wrap still on the dough, gently press the dough into the bottom and sides of the pan. Use the rolling pin to roll across the top of the tart pan, cutting off excess dough. Remove plastic wrap and set lined pan aside while making the filling. Excess unbaked dough can be rolled out, sprinkled with sugar, and baked as sugar cookies or can be wrapped and frozen for another day.

Nut tarts are often too sweet, but this one is made perfect with the addition of tart cranberries. Another long-time holiday tradition dish in my home, this was originally published in Bon Appetit in January, 1991 and was so popular it appeared again in November, 2003. Prep time includes chilling time for the dough.

Steps:
- Sprinkle gelatin over water in a small bowl; let stand until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Combine cranberries, sugar, jelly, and cognac in a saucepan and cook over low heat until cranberries are soft but not bursting, 12 to 15 minutes. Do not overcook or the mixture will become too watery. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in gelatin mixture and let cool completely.
- Pour cranberry filling into cooled tart shell and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
Tips:
- To ensure the tartlets have a crispy crust, make sure to use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- For a sweeter tartlet, use a sweeter variety of cranberries, such as the Scarlet Knight or Red Star cranberries.
- If you don't have a tartlet pan, you can use a regular muffin pan. Just be sure to grease the cups well so the tartlets don't stick.
- To make the tartlets ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the tartlets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Cranberry Walnut Tartlets are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any holiday gathering. The tart sweetness of the cranberries is complemented perfectly by the nutty flavor of the walnuts, and the buttery crust is the perfect finishing touch. Whether you make them for a special occasion or just because, these tartlets are sure to be a hit.
