From December, 2008's "Family Circle" magazine.

Makes 16 cookies (in a pie-cutting fashion)

To basic sugar cookie dough, mix in 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips.

Form into 1 disk and refrigerate for 2 hours. Press into a 9-inch round fluted nonstick tart pan.

Score into 16 pie-shaped wedges without cutting completely through dough. Bake at 350 degrees for 27-30 minutes.

Let cool & remove side of pan. Just before serving, melt 3 T seedless raspberry preserves and drizzle over top of tart. Cut into 16 wedges along score marks.
