Easy Lemon Pie Cookies

This recipe is made using a store bought pie crust, also you can use your homemade pie crust recipe and prepare your own fruit filling.
There are two ways to prepare this cookies, cutting the 3-inch circles before filling and after the filling is applied on pie crust.
I’ve made it both ways, but prefer cutting the circles before filling, because it’s much easier to re-roll the scraps.

How do you make Lemon Pie Cookies ?

It’s easy! You just need a few basic ingredients:

Ready to roll pie crusts or Homemade All Butter Pie Crust
Lemon curd
Egg and Sugar

Simply take a pie crust (I used my homemade all butter pie crust recipe,  but you can also use a Pillsbury crust) and cut 3 inch circles with a round cutter or jar lid or glass.  Spread about 1 teaspoon of lemon curd onto one circle, leaving about 1/4 inch border at the edge,
then top it with another circle of dough.
Brush each cookie with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.  Place on cookie sheet, and bake 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes, before serving.

And that’s all folks.

It’s likely you will have filling left over. Save it for pancakes or waffles. Or make more Lemon Pie Cookies.

Yes, you can use your own fruit filling, cherry, blueberry or apple pie filling or even experiment with chunky jams.
Easy Lemon Pie Cookies is one of those recipes with endless variations.  Those are my favorite types of recipes.
