Pie Crust Cookies

by Michelle

Pie Crust Cookies

Simply cut pie crust into seasonal shapes, such as leaves, acorns, and pumpkins using small cookie cutters found at specialty cooking shops and toss the cookies in cinnamon sugar before baking. The cookies make lovely accents decorating Pumpkin PiesApple Crostatas and platters of goodies on dessert buffets.

1 All Butter Pie Crust recipe, or left-over scraps
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 rounded tablespoon ground cinnamon


Procedure:
1. Roll-out the dough to 1/8-inch thick. With cookie cutters, cut the dough into desired shapes, and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until ready to bake. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. In a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon. Mix until cinnamon is evenly distributed with the sugar. Quickly toss each piece of pastry with the cinnamon sugar and return to sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes until pastry is puffed and fragrant. Cool on sheets or transfer to wire racks.
