Easy Blueberry Pie Cookies - a shortbread cookie filled with blueberry pie! This recipe is foolproof and perfect for the holidays.


BEST Blueberry Cookie Cups

But guess what? I decided that I still want to make pie in December. (What can I say? I’m a rebel.) But instead of making a traditional pie, I’m making PIE COOKIES.

I’m so smart.

Now, one of my favorite pies (blueberry) can be made into a Blueberry Pie Cookie: a shortbread cookie crust filled with blueberry pie filling and topped with white chocolate.

If these don’t scream cookie season, I don’t know what does!

Easy Blueberry Pie Cookies Recipe

Ingredients in Blueberry Pie Cookies

These cookies start with my favorite shortbread cookie dough. It’s a soft buttery dough that’s perfect for making cookie cups with. You simply press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a mini muffin pan, creating a crust. Then you fill it with a homemade blueberry pie filling.

If you remember from other blueberry recipes I’ve made, my family prefers the “mini” blueberries in our baked goods. The technical term for these small blueberries is “wild”. Whenever I make baked oatmeal, cinnamon rolls, or baked pancakes, I always use these wild blueberries.

How to make Blueberry Pie Cookies

These wild blueberries are perfect for making Blueberry Pie Cookies because they fit into the shortbread crust perfectly. The berries are tossed with cornstarch, sugar, and lemon before they’re added to the crusts. They bake up in the oven just like pie, and once they’re cooled I drizzled them with white chocolate for garnish.

Not only are these blueberry pie cookies better than regular blueberry pie, but they’re pretty, bite sized, and perfect for holiday platters, parties, and gift giving.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray mini muffin pans with floured nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. (You can also use a hand mixer.) Beat butter until it’s smooth, then beat in powdered sugar. Beat in vanilla and salt and then slowly mix in flour. Beat until batter forms.
  • Drop 1 tablespoon balls of cookie dough into each mini muffin pan cavity. Press it up the sides of the pan, creating a crust. I find it's easiest to use the back of a wooden spoon or thick handle/glass to press the cookies (rather than using my fingers).
  • Drain blueberries well if thawed. Toss with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Evenly divide between the cookies, adding some of the liquid that collects in the bottom of the berry bowl but not too much.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sides start to get golden in color. Cool completely before removing from pan.
  • To top: stir white chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a small microwave safe bowl. Heat on 50% power in 30 second increments, until melted and smooth. Add to a small sandwich bag with the tip cut off and drizzle over cookies. Let set before serving.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Or freeze for up to 3 months.

Recipe Notes

  • Blueberries: You can use fresh or frozen, but if you use frozen make sure they’re thawed and drained well. I love using the mini wild blueberries in these, but regular size are fine too (I’ve made them both ways).
  • You can skip the white chocolate drizzle and just dust these with powdered sugar if you want.
  • Easily double the recipe, or make them in larger muffin pans.

  4. I avoided the Black Friday sales, but shopping is definitely in full force for Christmas now. I feel your pain!  These cookies are such a cute idea and I’ll bet they taste so good.

  5. Dude, you might have a problem . . . I mean, I don’t know *anyone* who online shops out of control.  Who has like 18 cardigans but sees one for $9.99 and HAS to have it immediately . . . in five different colors.  Slippers for $4.99?  Buy TWO pairs.  Infinity scarves?  I mean, you can’t have enough of those.  But seriously, I don’t know anyone like that.  LOL!  LOVE these by the way.  Blueberries are a favorite around here!

  7. How many of these did Trevor and I eat? Lost count. SO good! And don’t even talk to me about my credit card – with 4 family birthdays and 2 holidays, I might have to give up things like shampoo and cotton balls in January!

  9. Now THESE are totally genius. Pie and cookies! I actually like cookies better than pie, but I am all about pie COOKIES. That filling looks so juicy! And no, you’re totally not alone. There’s got to be some support group for online shopping addictions, right?!

    1. Yes, definitely! You can probably even freeze them with the chocolate, but if you’re worried about it, just add that once they’ve defrosted. Enjoy!
