Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (more if needed)
- 2 pie crusts (1 package of 2 crusts)
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
Instructions
- Get Prepped: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Melt the 2 tablespoons of salted butter and set aside.
- Make the Cinnamon Sugar: In a bowl, combine half of the white sugar (1/2 cup) and the cinnamon. Place the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a separate small bowl for later use.
- Prepare the Pie Crust: Unroll the 2 pie crusts onto a clean surface and smooth them out gently using a rolling pin to eliminate any creases or folds.
- Butter and Sugar the Crust: Using a pastry brush, evenly brush the melted butter over the entire surface of both pie crusts.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Generously sprinkle the prepared cinnamon sugar mix over the buttered pie crusts, ensuring full coverage for a flavorful crust.
- Roll Up: Starting from one edge, roll up each pie crust tightly into a log shape.
- Slice: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled pie crust logs into even 1/2-inch thick pieces. Lay the slices flat on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until they are lightly browned and the sugar starts bubbling.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Roll in Sugar: Once cooled, roll each cookie in the remaining sugar until well coated.
- Enjoy: Serve and enjoy these crispy, sweet cinnamon sugar pie crust cookies as a delightful treat anytime.
Notes
- For extra cinnamon flavor, feel free to increase the amount of cinnamon according to your taste.
- Ensure the cookies are completely cooled before rolling in the remaining sugar to prevent melting and clumping.
- Use salted butter for enhanced flavor or unsalted butter with a pinch of salt as an alternative.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep them crisp.
