Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package pie dough store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 egg for egg wash
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest optional
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
- Cook over medium heat until the berries start to break down, about 5–7 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water, then stir it into the blueberry mixture.
- Let it simmer for another 1–2 minutes until thickened.
- Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
- Roll out your pie dough on a lightly floured surface.
- Use a round cutter to cut out circles, with two circles needed per cookie (one for the top and one for the bottom).
- Spoon a small amount of blueberry filling into the center of one circle.
- Top with a second circle.
- Use a sandwich cutter or press the edges with a fork to seal the cookie.
- Ensure the edges are well sealed to prevent leaking during baking.
- Brush the tops lightly with egg wash.
- Optionally, add a small slit on top to give a traditional pie look.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool completely before glazing.
Notes
Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but frozen will work as well.
Make sure your pie dough is chilled before rolling out for easier handling.
Add a little extra lemon zest to the glaze for a more pronounced lemon flavor.
