Step by Step Method

Step 1

Heat oven to 350F.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine crust ingredients. Chill 5-10 minutes for easier handling.

Step 3

Shape a small piece of dough into a ball and placed in an ungreased miniature cupcake pan. Coat a wooden "pusher" with flour; press into dough, forcing the dough up the sides of the mini cupcake pan (forming a shell). You can also use your fingers to press the dough into a shell in the muffin cup.

Step 4

Prepare filling: beat eggs until foamy. Gradually add sugar and almond extract, beating until thick and ivory colored. Blend in almond paste, mixing well.

Step 5

Fill each crust with 1 teaspoon filling. Top with colored sugar, almond slices, or candied cherries.

Step 6

Bake 20-25 minutes until they are a VERY light golden brown. Cool 5 minutes then remove to wire rack.
