Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by cutting the cold unsalted butter into small cubes, then place it back into the refrigerator to keep it cold.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the cold butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until just combined.
  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Once the dough has chilled, roll out to about 1/4-inch thickness and press into mini tart pans.
  7. Strain the raspberry jam through a fine mesh sieve, removing any seeds, and spoon into each tart shell.
  8. Place the filled tart pans in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes.
  9. Once baked, cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
