Ingredients
Scale
For the Blueberry Filling:
- 1 pint fresh blueberries
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/4 cup water
For the Cookies:
- 1 prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp butter (optional, for a richer glaze)
Instructions
- Make the Blueberry Filling:
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, and water.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries start to burst, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely. - Prepare the Pie Crust:
Roll out the prepared pie crust on a floured surface.
Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles from the dough. - Assemble the Cookies:
Spoon a small amount of the cooled blueberry filling onto the center of half the pie crust circles.
Top each filled circle with another pie crust circle and press the edges together with a fork to seal.
Use a knife to cut a small slit or “X” on top of each cookie for ventilation. - Egg Wash:
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water.
Brush the egg wash over the tops of the cookies for a golden finish. - Bake the Cookies:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the cookies on it.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown. - Optional Butter Glaze:
While the cookies are warm, brush the tops lightly with melted butter for added richness.
Notes
- The optional butter glaze adds a nice richness to the cookies. If you prefer a lighter option, you can skip this step.
- If using store-bought pie crust, make sure it’s well-chilled for easier handling.
- You can make the blueberry filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the cookies.
