Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 batch Leftover pie dough
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the leftover pie dough until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Use a pastry brush to spread the melted butter evenly over the surface of the dough.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the buttered dough.
Cut the dough into desired shapes using a cookie cutter or knife. Popular shapes include circles, stars, or simple strips for ease.
Place the dough shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small amount of space between each piece.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crisp around the edges.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies as a snack, dessert, or alongside a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
