These Christmas hand pies are a play on the wedding invite pies I made for a bridal shower. All I did was switch the stamp from their Initial to a North Pole stamp. You could honestly make these for so many holidays: Valentine’s Day, Christmas, an engagement party, bridal shower, baby shower invites. You get the picture. They are just so incredibly cute. I originally had one of these mini letter pies from a company called Tiny Pie. They were and still are based out of Austin (I believe) and a friend got one of their mini letters. It was sealed with a small little heart and packed with cherry filling. I thought the idea was adorable so I altered it and used fondant and made them for a bridal shower. I absolutely love the idea for Christmas now. Scroll down for the recipe.

How thick or thin do you roll out the pie crust too? Quarter inch thick?

I’ve tried these twice now and both times the jam kinda melts and spills out all over everything. I’m using a tablespoon or even less, any tips? 🙁 they at least taste good!

I had that happen too. Have you tried a different brand of jam? I have learned that some stay put better than others.

How did you adhere the North Pole seal to the cookie?
Cait
Try honey. That worked for me.

I’d like to know how I can get the seal/stamp to stick to the pie?
Cait
I used honey and it worked well.

What do I do with the 1/2 cup granulated sugar?
Cait
Good question. I sprinkled some on my pies right before they went in the oven, but I only used a few pinches. They tasted good though!

These turned out amazing! I spread the jam out in a thin layer for baking and then topped with jam after they cooled. Used a drop of honey to affix the fondant and after chilling everything set beautifully.
