Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Place the tart shells on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Let the shells cool completely. Lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Add 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam into each tart shell; then set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and white sugar with an electric mixer until light and creamy. Incorporate the flour, egg, baking powder, and almond extract; mix until well combined. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture over the raspberry jam in each tart.
Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is nicely bubbling. Allow tarts to cool while you prepare the icing.
In a small bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar and water until smooth. Drizzle the icing generously over the cooled tarts.
