Strawberry Pie Cookies
Equipment
- Cookie Cutter
- Knife
- Cookie sheet
- small bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 2 pie crusts
- 1 cup strawberry pie filling
- 1 egg
- 1 Tablespoon coarse sugar
OPTIONAL GLAZE
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 Tablespoon finely ground freeze dried strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Use a 2 ½” or 3” cookie/biscuit cutter and cut 12 circles for the base of the cookies.
- Use a knife to cut up the filling so the strawberries are in smaller pieces and easier to use.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each cookie base.
- Cut the remaining pie crust into small strips (about ¼” – ½” wide). Loosely weave the strips into a lattice top and use the cookie cutter to cut out circles.
- Before trying to lift up the crust, gently press the pieces together so they stick and can be lifted.
- Place the top over the filling and press the edges together to seal in the filling.
- Whisk the egg and use a pastry brush to brush the tops of each cookie and sprinkle a little bit of sugar on each.
- Place the tray in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove and let cool completely.
- To make the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar and heavy cream together until it’s a consistency thin enough to drizzle over the tops of the cooled cookies.
- Sprinkle the tops with the freeze dried strawberries.
