Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In a small pot over medium-high, combine jam and cornstarch mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 minutes; remove from the heat and let it cool.

Roll 1st dough into a rectangle and cut pieces 5 ½ x 3 ½-inches, making 5 tarts (or cut smaller if desired).

Transfer to a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Liberally brush on egg wash before scooping up the jam mixture, leaving a border around the edges.

Roll the 2nd dough into a rectangle and cut the pieces slightly bigger than the first ones. Place them over the jam mixture and the bottom dough, pressing down around the edges.

Roll up the bottom and top dough together preventing the filling from escaping. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges of the tarts. Brush the top with the remaining egg wash and poke some holes in the top to let the steam escape.

Transfer to the preheated oven and bake until the crust turns light golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely.

When the tarts are at room temperature, spoon icing on top and spread it with the back of the spoon. For the finishing touch, add colorful sprinkles or use sanding sugar.

Combine all the icing ingredients together in a small bowl.
