Day 3 of my Christmas baking: Pecan tarts

It has been a busy weekend with finalizing my Christmas shopping and battling this darn cold that I have. But, none the less, it was a great weekend!

To finish off my plans for this weekend I am baking pecan tarts from tasteofhome.com and apricot pinwheels. I'm trying the recipe for apricot pinwheels for the first time from goodhousekeeping.com. The pecan tarts recipe is a great recipe. I have been baking these every year for at least 8 years now.

Here are the pecan tarts! I'm pleased with them. The crust is flaky, buttery and cream cheesey. Bite into one and the center is flowing with a pecan filling. Topped with a maraschino cherry half. YUMMY!
