Directions
Christmas Cranberry-Nut Tassies (Mini), Serve these bite-size gems when family and friends drop in during the holidays, or box them up to give as gifts with hot cocoa mix, tea or winter blend coffee This recipe comes from the Southern Living Little Book of Mini Muffins & More NOTE: Preparation time includes 1-hour chill time for dough , I just noticed I never rated these! Made them at a pre-Christmas family bake-off, and they were a hit Not overly sweet, seemed to appeal more to adult tastes, but a perfect compliment to the standard sweet cookies in a holiday gift box , Wonderful and unusual treat! I also followed Starrynews suggestion and reduced sugar due to using dried cranberries I made a few without the addition of pecans and cranberries – they were really good as well Made for Sweet Traditions
