The baking bug has hit me in a big way in the last few weeks. With Thanksgiving, a gingerbread house adventure (which I’ll share here soon) and preparation for Christmas, I find myself wanting to bake all the time. Today was no exception. I had a hankering for something baked, but not for major preparation and clean up. Pie Crust Cookies were the perfect solution. I’m sharing how I made basic ones here, but you can also search the web for variations on the basic recipe, many of which include honey. Yum!
Ingredients:
Ready-Made Pie Crust
Melted Butter
Cinnamon and Sugar
Directions:
Step 1: Bring your pie crusts out of the fridge and let them get to room temperature. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2: Roll out the dough on a lightly-floured surface and cut shapes and transfer to a parchment-lined cookie sheet. After the first round of shapes are cut, work the leftover dough back into a ball, roll out and cut more shapes. Repeat until you’re out of dough.
Step 3: Before baking, brush the cookies lightly with melted butter.
Step 4: Sprinkle, generously, with cinnamon and sugar.
Step 5: Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
Enjoy! I had to snap this picture quickly – the cookies didn’t last long!

Brings back memories of baking with my mom and mema
That’s nice.
My husband is somewhat obsessed with pie crust. This will be perfect for him!!
I love cookies. I love easy cookies even more.
Thanks!
My neighbor used to bake pies from scratch and let me use the left-over dough to make this type of cookie. What a great idea for moms and kids, or anyone who’s feeling frazzled and wanting to do holiday baking. You could also bake a pie and get an extra crust for the kids to make cookies from – a revised experience from my childhood!
