Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 0.75 cup Apple pie filling (finely chopped)
- 0.75 cup Cherry pie filling (finely chopped)
- 1 Egg (beaten for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, diced unsalted butter to the flour mixture, and using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work it in until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overwork the dough.
Divide the dough into two disks, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to approximately 1/8-inch thickness.
Using a 2.5-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles from the dough. Re-roll scraps as needed.
Place half of the circles onto the prepared baking sheets. Add about 1 teaspoon of apple or cherry pie filling to the center of each circle.
Top each filled circle with another dough cutout, gently pressing the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Brush the tops of the cookies with a thin layer of beaten egg to create a golden crust when baked. Optionally, cut small slits on the tops for ventilation.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
Optionally, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar and a pinch of ground cinnamon for a festive finish.
Serve and enjoy your S W O C Pie Cookies!
