Chocolate Sugar Cookie Pie directions:

Fit a pastry bag with a #4 decorating tips and fill with brown buttercream icing.  Fit second pastry bag with a #104 tip and fill with ivory buttercream icing.  Fit third pastry bag with a #18 tip and fill with white icing.  Using the brown icing, draw an outline around the outer edge of the cookies, sparing 1/4 inch space around the edge.  Fill in the area using a back and forth horizontal motion until outlined surface is covered.  Using the ivory buttercream icing, and holding the bag vertically with the larger side of the tip closest to the cookie, draw a ruffle onto the cookie to resemble pie crust.  Complete cookie using the white icing and holding the bag vertically, use a circular motion and draw a dollop of whipped cream.
