      Editing on the website is still down so just in case anyone is interested here is how you make the tarts.
      Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
      Spray a mini muffin pan nonstick spray.
      Place the roll of cookie dough, flour and vanilla in a mixing bowl using your hands mix the dough until it is well blended. Shape the dough into 1 inch balls .
      Place the balls into the muffin pan and push down with your thumb until the dough comes up the sides of the pan.
      Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
      Place on cookie sheet and let cool .
      Gently lift out each tart I used a little cheese spreader knife to help.
      Set aside on a baking tray to fill with the lemon curd and top with the meringue.

        I accidentally deleted the tart part. Will put up as soon as the system comes back online in the editing area.
