On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4".

Using a round cookie cutter cut out shapes and press into mini tart or muffin tin pan. Shape crust.

Fill each pastry shell with 1 1/2 tsp. jam, and decorate tops with cut-outs of dough.

In a small bowl, combine the remaining egg yolk with the cream. Lightly brush the exposed dough with the egg yolk/cream mixture with a pastry brush.

Bake at 350° F for 20 to 25 minutes.

Note - if you are making larger size tarts, the bake time will need to be increased accordingly.
