- Bake the crusts for 4 minutes. They will not be fully cooked. Remove from oven and gently press down the center of each cookie to maintain the divot. Set aside to cool slightly.

Notes
- Expect some leftover filling. It's a choice between a little waste and half-used ingredients.
- Keep leftovers fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
