- Making the TARTS:.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Sprinkle a work surface and rolling pin with confectioner's sugar and roll out dough to 1/8-inch thick.
- Move dough frequently to prevent it from sticking and add more confectioner's sugar to the work surface and rolling pin as needed.
- Using a round cookie cutter the same diameter as the top of the mini-muffin tin cups (about 2 inches), cut 72 rounds of dough.
- Gently press a dough round into each muffin cup and press evenly into the sides and bottom of the cup.
- Continue with remaining dough rounds.
- Bake until set and edges are light golden, about 10-12 minutes.
- Let cool in the pan completely before removing with a small offset spatula.
- Heat the jam in a small saucepan over medium heat until melted.
- Add the cherries and stir gently to coat completely.
- With a small teaspoon, transfer a cherry into each tart shell and drizzle with a little more warm jam.
