Steps:
- Beat the butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, granulated sugar and salt in a medium bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour until incorporated. Beat in 2 ounces of the chopped chocolate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the dough is no longer sticky, about 1 hour.
- Coat a 24-cup mini-muffin pan with cooking spray. Divide the dough between the cups (about 1 heaping tablespoon each); press into the bottoms and up the sides to create cups. (If the dough becomes sticky, dampen your fingers.) Refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the cookies until browned around the edges and dry in the centers, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in the pan, then use the back of a small spoon to gently indent the center of each. Use an offset spatula to remove the cookies from the pan; transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, put the remaining 6 ounces chopped chocolate and 3 tablespoons heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth. Let stand until thick like hot fudge, 10 minutes. (If the chocolate is too thick, gradually stir in 1 more tablespoon heavy cream. If the chocolate hardens, return to the microwave.) Spoon the chocolate into the cookies and top with the candies. Let cool completely.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly roll out 1 piece of dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Cut out circles using a 3-inch-round cookie cutter. Repeat with the other piece of dough. Fit the dough circles into the holes of a 24-cup mini-muffin pan, pressing into the bottom and side of each cup. Lightly brush the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake until browned, 16 to 18 minutes; let cool in the pan.
- Combine the chocolate, peanut butter and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until steaming; pour over the chocolate mixture and add the vanilla. Let stand until the chocolate softens, 3 to 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy. (If the chocolate is not completely melted, microwave in 20-second intervals, whisking, until smooth.)
- Spoon the chocolate mixture into the pastry cups and decorate with nonpareils. Let stand at room temperature until the chocolate sets, about 1 hour, then unmold.
Tips:
- Use high-quality German chocolate for the best flavor. Look for chocolate that has a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Be sure to chill the dough before baking. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- If you don't have time to chill the dough, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. Just be sure to thaw it completely before baking.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from melting.
- If you are using a store-bought filling, be sure to chill it before using. This will help it thicken up and hold its shape.
- You can also make your own filling using a variety of ingredients, such as nuts, chocolate, or fruit.
Conclusion:
German chocolate tassies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a combination of rich chocolate and a creamy filling, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give German chocolate tassies a try.
