Super Sweet Valentines Day Treat

For my sister's second grade Valentine's Day Party we decided to make these little cuties:

Currently I am in

with these cute little Snickerdoodle Tarts!

I am posting the recipe if you would like to try them out. They are super easy- a lot easier than cut-outs!

Snickerdoodle Tarts

(1 batch makes 4 Dozen)

For the dough:

1/2 c. Crisco

1/2 c. softened butter or margarine

11/2 c. sugar

2 eggs

23/4 c+ 2 T. Flour

2 t. cream of tartar

1/4 t. salt

1 t baking soda

Sugar

Blend Crisco, margarine, sugar and eggs until creamy. Sift dry ingredients and then add to creamed mixture. Chill 1 hour. Roll dough into balls and bake in mini tart liners(we use valentines day ones). Bake for 10 min. Keep in pan for 5 min. Then use a tart shaper to carefully press down the center (it is really important to let the tarts cool or the shaper will not work correctly.) Let Cool.

Piping:

1/3 c. Crisco

1/3 c. butter

1 egg

1 T. FLour

dash of salt

2 c. conf. sugar

-If you plan to generously fill the tarts like we do then you will need a double batch!

Mix together.You may add food coloring to tint for the season.  Pipe on to the fully cooled tarts. Sprinkle with holiday sprinkles if you wish.
