Instructions
Makes about 20. Place flour and sugar on work surface. Make an indentation in the top, and put cut up butter in it. Add the beaten egg and work the butter into the dough with your fingertips. Chill for several hours. Preheat oven to 375F. Grease small tart tins. Roll out the dough and cover the surface of each tin with dough. Stir softened butter until smooth, then add almond paste and each egg separately. Stir in flour and baking powder. Divide filling between tarts. Bake tarts on a cookie sheet in the lower part of the oven for about 15 minutes. Let cool. Sift the sugar for the glaze, then stir in water gradually until glaze is smooth and shiny. Spread thinly on cooled cookies.
