My "Cherry Tassie" attempt..

I saw on NoblePig a recipe or 2 I wanted to try with my mini muffin pan. I decided to try out the Cherry Tassie recipe, it also was not low fat, or low in calories ..eek! I plan to remake this in a healthier version hopefully it will be tasty too.

Ingredients:
Powdered Sugar, 2.25 cup,
cant believe its not butter, 20 tbsp (room temp)
Flour, white, 2.5 cup
Vanilla Extract, 1 tsp
Baking Powder, 1 tsp
peppermint extract, 1 tsp
1 egg
Maraschino cherries, 48 cherry
Brach's Star Brites Peppermint Mints, 18 pieces (crushed into a powder=about 1/2 c.)

Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Divide the sugar, leaving 3/4 c. out . Beat baking powder, butter. beat in egg, & extracts. Add sugar, and flour gradually. Then add peppermint.

Break dough into small balls, roll in remaining powdered sugar and flatten into each muffin pan. Then drop in a cherry in each one.

Bake 12-14 minutes.
As you can seemy son was attempting to rob the muffins out of the picture.. LOL
