Easy Pie Cookies Recipe - chocolate cream, cherry, and blueberry pie cookies.

You can easily make blueberry or cherry lattice pie. Or how about pumpkin pie or banana or lemon or chocolate cream pie? With a little imagination you can make any kind of pie you want…out of cookies.

How do you make pie cookies?

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

  • Store-bought cookies or pre-baked ones. You can make your own sugar cookies or chocolate chip cookies or use packaged. I used shortbread cookies and store-bought chocolate chip.
  • Frosting – make your own chocolate and vanilla frosting, or use a can.
  • Food coloring
  • Pastry bags
  • Pastry tips
  • Candy for filling

Pie Cookies - make a chocolate cream pie cookie out of frosting and your favorite cookie!

Pie cookies are a fun and easy way to make pies out of semi-homemade ingredients like cookies and candy!

Originally, I thought of making these these because a friend made “pie” cupcakes at playdate. I thought they were the cutest things ever and filed the method away to do at a later time. When I started thinking about this post, I figured, why not use cookies?

How to make fruit pie cookies:

  • Tint your vanilla frosting a bit of yellow to make it more like a pie crust color.
  • Frost a light layer of frosting on your cookie.
  • Use M&Ms or other similar candy to make the filling of your pie. Think blue for blueberry, red for cherry, or yellow for lemon!
  • Piping: use a Wilton #102 tip to pipe the lattice and crust edge.

How to make chocolate cream pie cookies:

  • To make chocolate cream pie, use chocolate frosting.
  • Use other tinted vanilla frosting for other pie flavors (like yellow for banana or lemon, orange for pumpkin).
  • Use a Wilton tip #18 to pipe the whipped cream using vanilla frosting.
