This month for a blogger’s group that I am in, our theme was set to Red, White and Blue, Creations from our Kitchens.
I actually tried and failed at another recipe, and decided on this one at the last minute. My kids were asking while they were eating “Why don’t we have these more often?” Heck, I don’t know! It was so easy and what a pretty presentation!
I have wanted to make (and actually photograph, not just eat) Pie Crust Cookies for a while now, and I decided this was my perfect opportunity!
I made the pie crust cookies and cut them in star shapes and dusted them with a lemon sugar.

Have you ever flavored sugar? It’s SO EASY!! The options are endless…and are only limited to the flavors of extract you have. Click HERE to find the How To on how to flavor your own sugar at home.
Berries are our favorite snack in the summertime. They are so fresh and full of flavor. I piled some strawberries and blueberries in a bowl topped with a pile of Reddi-Whip (yes, my kids were stoked!) and added a couple of the pie crust cookies.
