1. 1
   Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
2. 2
   In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.

   Add flour and mix well.

   Shape into 1 inch balls and press into the bottom and up the sides of greased mini muffin cups.
5. 5
   Bake for 20 minutes or until very lightly browned.
6. 6
   Cool for 15 to 20 minutes and then carefully remove from pans.

   Spoon pie filling or preserves into each tart (I use a baby spoon to do this--it's much easier than a regular teaspoon).
