FAQs
Are blueberry pie cookies good?
Absolutely! These cookies combined simple baked pie crust with sweet and rich cream cheese frosting and fresh fruits for a dessert that’s as delicious as it is easy to make!
Is shortbread crust the same as pie crust?
No, these two types of dough are slightly different. Though made with similar ingredients, shortbread contains more butter than pie crust. This means the end result is a bit more dense and crumbly, as opposed to light and flaky.
Pie crust also requires a chilling period, whereas shortbread dough typically doesn’t call for this.
The two are similar in terms of having a buttery flavor, and shortbread is actually a potential substitute for pie crust in this recipe if you prefer it.
What can I do with cut off pie crust?
There are a number of things to do with pie crust scraps. Gather and re-roll them with some all purpose flour in order to cut out more cookie shapes.
If there isn’t enough pie crust for more cookies, you can bake the scraps and crumble them over top of your cookies for an additional topping.
