Servings 8 pie cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Salted butter 2 sticks (cold)
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Sugar
  • 7-8 Tablespoons ice water

Cookie Pie filling

  • 1 can pie filling of your choice
  • 1 egg white beaten

Pie cookie topping

  • 1 Tablespoon course sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, combine flour, salt, sugar, and butter cut into cubes.
    Press the dough button to pulse until this mixture is combined and butter is in small pea-sized pieces.
    Slowly add ice water a tablespoon or so at a time until dough becomes well combined and cohesive. Cut the dough into to pieces formed into a disc. Try not to handle the dough too much, you don't want the butter to melt!
    Chill dough for 2 hours. This will help the butter stay cold and create pockets of flakiness as it bakes.
    Roll out dough on a lightly floured counter. Use a 3" cutter to cut 8 circles.
    Brush egg white around the edge of 8 circles, and add a spoonful of fruit filling to the center. Top with additional 8 pie circles or create a lattice topping to cover the pie filling. Press edges and seal with a fork. If you fully cover with another pie circle, be sure to cut a vent on top.
    Brush pies with remaining egg white and top apple pies with course sugar if desired.
    Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
