    Laced with peppermint and topped with long-stemmed maraschino cherries, these moist tartlets make the ultimate holiday treat. For a bit of glitz, sprinkle them with coarse sugar after baking.

    These chewy meringue cookies can go sweet or tart depending on the filling you choose. Here, we've alternated between lemon curd and raspberry jam.

Peanut Bites

    These delicious little cookies take just three ingredients to make: pound cake, vanilla frosting, and peanuts.

    These mini tarts have a sweet toffee filling and are topped with a crumbled chocolate-covered toffee bar.

    A luscious lime filling gives these tiny tarts a refreshing twist. Top with whipped cream and toasted coconut.

Ditto with the Kaiser Ad. I'm already a member, so it's annoying to have to close the advertisement after every "click" This is overkill.
