The name “Shoo-fly” is often explained by the pie’s sticky sweetness, which naturally attracted flies that bakers had to shoo away. Today, shoo-fly pie remains a staple at Pennsylvania Dutch festivals, Amish markets, and family tables. This cookie version brings that same rich molasses flavor into a handheld treat with a crumbly topping.
