Lemon Coconut Tassies

I absolutely adore these sweet little bites! I took the concept of a classic Pecan Tassie and turned it upside down. If you don’t already know a Pecan Tassie is a nostalgic cookie that has a shortbread crust with a sweet pecan filling. I see them most often around the holidays on cookie platters and for Thanksgivng, but of course they can be enjoyed anytime of the year. Baked in a mini muffin tin Pecan Tassies are like tiny bites of pecan pie…so I decided to take that same idea and make it a more Spring/Summer dessert, the Lemon Coconut Tassie!
