Spring has sprung and with it (besides the fresh and healthy salads)
comes a delicious variety of cookies, cakes, and tarts too!
Get ready to create a raspberry tart that's sure to impress!
Ingredients:
8 ounces butter softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. salt
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup almond flour
3/4 cup raspberry jam
(this one is really good!)
Instructions:
1. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees.
2. Combine the butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat until creamy. Add the vanilla and salt - mix until combined.
3. Add the all-purpose flour and almond flour until large crumbles start to form.
4. Spray a 9 or 10-inch tart pan with nonstick spray and press 1/2 of the dough evenly into the pan to form a bottom crust.
Note: if you want to cut the tart into cookies, you can use a 9 x 13" baking dish.
5. Wrap the remaining dough in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer while the bottom crust is baking (no longer than 15 minutes).
6. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake for 10 - 12 minutes, or just until the crust is beginning to firm and turn golden brown at the edges.
7. Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes, then spread the raspberry jam evenly over the crust, leaving a 1/4" border around the edge.
8. Remove the remaining dough from the freezer and using your fingers, sprinkle it in big crumbs over the jam to form a topping.
9. Return the pan to the oven and continue baking until firm, crisp, and lightly golden in color about 25 to 30 minutes.
10.Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool at room temperature.
11. Dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired.
If serving as a tart, cut into wedges and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. (microwave each serving for about 10 seconds)
Meanwhile, if it's those healthy salads that interest you...here they are!
Enjoy!
