Steps to Make Blueberry Pie Cookies
Preheat and Prep:
Turn on your oven to 350°F and grease two 12-cup muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray.
Shape the Dough:
Roll the sugar cookie dough into balls and place them in the muffin tin.
Use a tart shaper dipped in flour or the back of a spoon to gently press the dough balls onto the sides of each cup. Be careful not to press too hard; you just want to create a nice edge on the crust.
Bake:
Place the muffin tins in the oven and bake for 10-13 minutes until they reach a nice golden brown color.
Cool and Set:
After baking, use a tart shaper or the back of a spoon to redefine the center divot in each cookie. Let them cool completely in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack.
Fill the Cookies:
Use a tablespoon to scoop blueberry pie filling into each cookie crust.
Prepare the Icing:
In a separate bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Transfer the icing to a resealable sandwich bag, cut a small tip off one corner, and drizzle it over each cookie.
Serve or Store:
These cookies are ready to enjoy immediately, or you can cover and refrigerate them until you’re ready to serve.
