Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked tart shells on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)
Gradually whisk in the light corn syrup until well combined. (2 minutes)
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. (3 minutes)
Stir in the salt until evenly distributed. (1 minute)
Spoon the mixture into the tart shells, filling each about 3/4 full. (10 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is golden brown and set. A slight jiggle in the center is okay; they will firm up as they cool. (30 minutes)
Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. (60 minutes)
