Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl beat shortening with an electric mixer on medium 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; beat until combined. Beat in eggs until combined. Beat in flour until combined. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar. Place one ball into a mini muffin cup; press into bottom and up the sides. Repeat with all balls.
2.Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. (If tassies puff during baking, re-press with spoon.) Cool 5 minutes in cups. Remove; cool on a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter. Fill cooled tassies with cranberry relish. If desired, top with sugared cranberries and rosemary leaves.
