Remember like, one hundred years ago I told you that I was going to show you what to do with leftover pie dough?
The time has finally come, and it is glorious.
I have heard these called pie crust cookies, but growing up we always called them tarts, and I cannot turn my back on childhood tradition.
These totally take me back to blasting Britney Spears while doodling in my Lisa Frank notebooks.
You know. The simple times.
Not only do these bring back great memories, but they can be super educational as well.
I present to you, for your viewing pleasure, the Idaho tart. Teach your kids all of the states, and then go ahead and eat America because it will be delicious.
I mean, check out that first picture. I see Montana. I see Colorado. I almost see Utah.
I would have remembered my states and capitals much better if they tasted this good.
