I squeezed some inspiration for these cookies out of my Apple Pie Cookies ~those cookies took on a life of their own on the inter-webs and totally needed to be re-visited! This time they were visited by sweet Blueberries! Now, I’m not sure which of my 2 Cookie children love more..lol!
What I’ve discovered about these Pie Cookies, is that you can treat them JUST like regular Pie! Freeze them, wrap them, bake them as many times as you’d like to “freshen them up”, top them with Ice Cream, OR keep them on the counter for DAYS~ They’re bullet proof!
*The perfect adorable gift for the Holidays…you can even pack these babies up and ship them anywhere you ‘d like them to go~
What you’ll need for 7-3″ cookies: ~feel free to simply double/triple the recipe for more cookies, or use a smaller sized cookie cutter..I just prefer the larger “Pie” look!
1 box of refrigerated Pie Crust..(I used the Pillsbury 2 pack)
3/4 cup Blueberry (or any flavor) Pie Filling
1 cup of sparkle/decorative Sugar…the pretty stuff! Regular is just fine too!
1 egg for egg wash..(1 egg, well beaten with a splash of water)
A dusting of flour to slightly roll out the dough to make them even with each other…
a 3″ round cookie cutter
Directions:
Unroll both crusts and spread one of them with the Pie Filling…
Now…cut the other crust into 18 even strips, this will be the lattice…
Place 9 of the strips onto the Pie Filling and peel back every other strip~ add the other 9 strips one at a time..weaving as you go, to form a lattice top…
Brush the lattice topped crust with some egg wash…
And a generous sprinkling of Sugar…
Cut them out with your cookie cutter~ any cutter you’d like will work. I like the 3″ round for a substantial pie-like cookie…
Using a spatula to transfer them, place them gently onto a sheet pan (I DIDN’T GREASE MY PAN) ~Bake them at 350 degrees for approx, 12 minutes. You just want them golden so keep an eye on them…
Let them cool and take a moment to enjoy their beauty and say “Ahhh~Wowww~Oooo~!
Now you can serve them up…
That means sharing and letting some go…
Maybe grab a few for yourself first…
There ya go! ~Enjoy! 🙂
