What I’ve discovered about these Pie Cookies, is that you can treat them JUST like regular Pie! Freeze them, wrap them, bake them as many times as you’d like to “freshen them up”, top them with Ice Cream, OR keep them on the counter for DAYS~ They’re bullet proof!
*The perfect adorable gift for the Holidays…you can even pack these babies up and ship them anywhere you ‘d like them to go~
