Cookie Time!

I made a new-to-me cookie a couple of days ago that is a keeper.  I started out with this recipe for Kiss Pies (cute name, isn’t it?)

and they were underwhelming.  Too sweet, not pretty like the picture at all LOL. Pinterest fail.

Then I changed the recipe somewhat – I made Blueberry Tarts and they are fantastic!

I used a biscuit cutter to make the rounds – made 13 rounds from one premade crust circle – I think I could cut out 11 rounds then I had to reshape the dough bits to make the last two.

Roll the pie crust out on a layer of suger (so skip the egg wash, sugar sprinkle part)

Fill with 1/2 t blueberry jam (or any other jam would work I am sure – but don’t use too much or the cookie will be a mess!)

Moisten the edges of the dough circle with water (I used my fingertip) and fold up by thirds instead of fourths like it shows in the recipe – you will end up with a much tidier cookie.  Seal the edges well (a small amount of jam may still leak but it is ok – should look appetizing).

Bake on parchment paper or a baking mat.

Makes beautiful and delicous individual blueberry pies that you can pick up and eat!  Not too sweet, either.  I am making these as part of my Christmas morning feast!
