Lunch: Fresh Ginger-Pumpkin Tassies

Like mini-pumpkin pies, these charming desserts have a creamy pumpkin filling fragrant with autumn spices in a simple flaky crust.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (3-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened

Instructions

Heat oven to 350 °F. In large bowl, combine all crust ingredients; beat until well blended. Shape dough into 24 (1 1/4-inch) balls. Place 1 ball in each of 24 ungreased miniature muffin cups; press in bottom and up sides of each cup, level with tops of cups.
In medium bowl, combine all filling ingredients; blend well. Spoon scant tablespoon filling into each crust-lined cup. In small bowl, combine all topping ingredients; mix until crumbly. Carefully sprinkle 1 teaspoon topping over each filled cup.
Bake at 350 °F. for 18 to 22 minutes or until puffed and tip of knife inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately run knife around edges of cookies. Cool cookies in pans for 5 minutes. Carefully remove cookies from muffin cups; place on wire racks to cool. Cool 30 minutes or until completely cooled.
