Instructions

  1. 1 Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. 2 Unroll pie crusts, place on a lightly floured work surface, and roll slightly with a rolling pin to square the edges. Cut each crust into 8 equal-sized rectangles.
  3. 3 Place about 1 tablespoon strawberry jam in the center of 8 squares. Spread jam out to within 1/4-inch of the edge. Top each with another pastry square and use a fork to crimp together, sealing in jam. Use a knife to trim pastries, if desired. Transfer filled pastries to the prepared baking sheets.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly golden brown, about 7 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheets.
  5. 5 Whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl to make a spreadable frosting. Add water, a few drops at a time, if needed. Spread cooled tarts with frosting and sprinkle with colored sugar.
  6. 6 Serve and enjoy.

  1. 1 Gather the ingredients.
  2. 2 Beat white sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add eggs and vanilla extract and beat until well mixed. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt and stir into the creamed butter mixture alternately with the heavy cream until dough is evenly mixed. Chill dough in refrigerator, 2 to 3 hours.
  3. 3 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll cookie dough on a floured work surface. Cut dough into strips about 2 1/2 inches long and about as thick as a pencil, forming one end into a point. Arrange "pencils" on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 12 to 14minutes. Transfer parchment paper with cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. 5 Mix enough confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together in a bowl to form a thick icing. Divide icing among several small bowls and mix different colors of food coloring into each bowl.
  6. 6 Decorate "pencil" cookies with colored icing so they look like colored pencils. Allow icing to dry completely.
