Hawaiian Cookie Tarts Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Hawaiian Cookie Tarts Delight.

1. Step 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, confectioners' sugar, and cornstarch. Mix well until evenly combined.

3. Step 3

   Add the softened butter and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms.

4. Step 4

   Shape the dough into 36 small balls. Place each ball into an ungreased mini muffin cup, pressing lightly to form a crust on the bottom and up the sides.

5. Step 5

   Spoon 1 teaspoon of pineapple preserves into each crust, followed by a sprinkle of 1 teaspoon of macadamia nuts over the preserves.

6. Step 6

   In a small bowl, beat together the sugar and egg until well combined. Mix in the coconut until fully blended.

7. Step 7

   Spoon 1 teaspoon of the coconut mixture over each macadamia layer in the tarts.

8. Step 8

   Bake in the preheated oven for 23 to 33 minutes, or until the crust and coconut topping are golden brown.

9. Step 9

   Allow the tarts to cool in the pans for 20 minutes. To release them, hold each pan upside-down at an angle over a wire rack and gently tap the bottoms with a butter knife. Let the tarts cool completely on the rack.
