  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped crystallized ginger

Crust

  • 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count), softened as directed on box

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    In 1-quart saucepan, mix granulated sugar and cornstarch. Stir in lemon peel, lemon juice, eggs and ginger with whisk until blended. Cook over medium heat about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Remove from heat; pour into medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes or until completely cool.

    Meanwhile, heat oven to 375°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper. On lightly floured surface, roll 1 pie crust to 1/8-inch thickness. With 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 16 rounds (you may need to reroll scraps to get 16 rounds). Place on cookie sheet. With fork, poke holes all over rounds. Repeat with second pie crust—except don’t poke with fork. With 1 1/2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out flower or heart from center of second batch of rounds. Place on cookie sheet.
