Patriotic Cookie Tarts

Patriotic Cookie Tarts By Bloom Designs

Hi Everyone. Today I am sharing these easy and festive American Cookie Tarts with you.  Nothing reminds me more of summer than sweet berries and with Memorial Day and Fourth of July both coming up, just our luck that the berries match these holidays perfectly.  This recipe is very forgiving and both the sugar cookies and frosting can be store-bought depending on how much time you have and whether or not you feel like baking.

I made this recipe two different ways, as minis which I always love for parties and as a larger tart.  If you are hosting a party, I think it would be great to stack two cake stand and put the larger tart on top cake stand and the minis around the bottom cake stand.

To Make you need

Your favorite sugar cookies- homemade or store-bought as big or little as you want.  My minis are about two inches. To make a larger tart, use a spring form pan and press cookie dough into the bottom of pan.  Cook until light golden brown

Frosting- Cream cheese frosting works great with the berries.  I used a simple butter cream for my cookies

Berries- Any kind you like

For both the larger tart and mini, bake cookie and let cool completely.  Put frosting into a piping bag and pipe onto cookies.  You can also do it with a knife but I find the piping bag easier, quicker and neater.  Any tip works.

For the mini cookies; arrange berries in any formation you like.  Mine are all different.  The colors keep the tarts looking neat but the variation of design adds a little interest.

For the larger star:  After piping on frosting, use a knife to draw on a star.  Fill in with raspberries starting from at the outer point and filling in towards the center. add blueberries around the outside.

Have fun with these.  It is honestly one of my favorite desserts. So yummy!

Moving day for me tomorrow!
