Spoon the raspberry preserves into a plastic zip top bag, then squeeze the air out and seal.Use the blunt end of a wooden spoon to indent the top of each dough ball about 1/4 inch to make room for the raspberry preserves.Place the dough balls in the muffin liners. Use a level small spring-loaded cookie scoop to form tight dough balls, rolling them in the palms of your hands.Pulse until the dough comes together, and then pour it out onto a clean surface and knead together until smooth.In a food processor (I used my mini size) combine flour, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a mini muffin pan by lining the wells with mini paper muffin liners.Subscribe and I'll send all my recipes right to your inbox!

They’ll definitely get the message. If you don’t have one, just make the dough into one-inch round balls (one level tablespoon). It is helpful to have a small, spring-loaded cookie dough scoop to portion the dough evenly into each of the muffin wells. This recipe makes two dozen Mini Raspberry Almond Tarts but can be easily doubled. The center will sink a bit when the tarts are baked, so fill the center with more preserves than you think. Strawberry, cherry, or peach would be delicious. You could use any flavor of jam or preserves you have on hand. The liners came off easily once the tarts were completely cooled. You will not need to spray the muffin liners with nonstick spray. Be sure to let them cool completely before trying to remove them. I made them in my mini muffin pan and using the mini muffin liners really made them easy to remove from the pan. Aren’t these the sweetest little Valentine’s treats? We love anything with almond flavoring around here, and these tiny tarts were there one minute and gone the next! These adorable Mini Raspberry Almond Tarts have completely stolen my heart.
