Doubly good and easy to make thanks to
the convenience of ready-made cookie dough used for the crust
in this delightful version of blueberry pie!
Double
Blueberry Cookie Pie
- 1 (18-ounce) package refrigerated
sugar cookie dough, room temperature
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Dash salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream, whipped
- Preheat oven to 350ºF
(175ºC). Spray a 9-inch pie pan and small cookie sheet with
nonstick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl combine
sugar cookie dough and flour until mixed. Remove about a quarter
of the cookie dough; cover with plastic and refrigerate for later
use. With floured hands, press unrefrigerated dough into bottom
and sides of prepared pan. Place in freezer to firm up, about
15 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface
with a floured rolling pin, roll out refrigerated cookie dough
1/4-inch thick. With a floured cookie cutter, cut out stars or
other shapes; place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake cookie dough
pie crust until golden, about 11 minutes and stars for about
6 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
- Meanwhile, in a medium
saucepan, combine 1 cup of the blueberries, the sugar, cornstarch
and salt. Stir in 2/3 cup water and the lemon juice. Over medium-high
heat, bring to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly, until mixture
thickens, crushing blueberries. Stir in remaining 2 cups blueberries;
chill.
- Spoon blueberry mixture
into cooled cookie shell. Decorate with the star-shaped cookies
and whipped cream.
Makes 8 servings.
