Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade pie dough)
- 1 cup (150 g) blueberry pie filling (store-bought or homemade)
Binder/Wash:
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Glaze Ingredients (optional):
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 12 tablespoons (180 ml) milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace by ensuring all equipment and ingredients are readily accessible. Arrange a clean, lightly floured surface for dough manipulation and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Carefully unfurl pie crusts and transform them into delicate circular shapes using a round cookie cutter or glass. Gently re-roll any remaining dough scraps to maximize usage.
- Strategically position half of the dough circles on the prepared baking sheet. Delicately deposit a precise dollop of blueberry pie filling at the center of each circle.
- Carefully overlay the remaining dough circles atop the filled bases. Methodically seal the edges using a fork, creating a decorative crimped border. Apply a thin layer of beaten egg wash to enhance the golden appearance.
- Using a sharp knife, create a smallvent or puncture subtle holes on the cookie surface to allow steam escape during baking.
- Slide the cookie sheet into a preheated oven, maintaining a consistent temperature. Bake until the edges transform into a rich, golden-brown hue, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Allow the freshly baked cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a brief cooling period. Transfer them to a wire rack to complete the cooling process.
- For an optional elegant touch, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a smooth, glossy glaze. Artfully drizzle the mixture over the completely cooled cookies.
- Present the blueberry pie cookies at room temperature or slightly warmed. Store in an airtight container to preserve their delicate texture for up to two days.
Notes
- Customize your blueberry pie cookies by swapping out the filling with other fruit preserves like raspberry, cherry, or peach for exciting flavor variations.
- Ensure your pie dough is cold and firm before cutting to prevent stretching and maintain clean, crisp edges on your cookies.
- Create perfectly sealed edges by pressing the fork tines gently but firmly around the cookie circumference, making sure no filling leaks during baking.
- Make these cookies gluten-free by using a prepared gluten-free pie crust or creating a homemade alternative with almond flour and coconut flour blend.
