Pie Crust Cookies Sprinkled With Cinnamon and Sugar

Filed Under: Cookie Recipes

Jump to Recipe

There is usually a bit of pie dough leftover after assembling your pie. Don’t toss it! Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and bake to make deliciously flaky little pie crust cookies!

To me, pie crust is the best part of the pie!  I remember swapping pie crust and pie filling with my cousin at the Thanksgiving table. I’d give her my pumpkin pie filling and she would give me the crust off of her pie. What can I say? I’m a pastry girl through and through.

What Are Pie Crust Cookies?

My mom would take the pie crust scraps, roll them out, cut them into shapes then spread butter over them. She’d then sprinkle them with cinnamon and sugar and bake in the oven. She didn’t make pies very often, so it was such a treat to have those little pie crust cookies! I make them for my kids, too. My girls are always right there asking for the scraps when I’m done assembling my pie.

You can usually get 6-8 tiny cookies (mine were 1 1/2″ teddy bears) from the leftover scraps of pie dough. It all depends on how thin you rolled it out. So go ahead and make a batch of pie crust JUST for making your own cookies. I won’t judge. If you do this you’ll easily get 20 (4 inch) cookies.

    What a fun idea! Too bad I hardly ever make pie crusts from scratch, the Pillsbury ones are just too easy!

    My mom used to do that, too. 🙂 I’d kinda forgotten about it, though. In fact, I made 4 pies this weekend and tossed all the scraps in the chicken bucket…darn! Thanks for the reminder, they look tasty!

    Those are super-cute. We always roll it all out, smear it with butter add sugar and cinnamon then roll it up and cut it out like cinnamon rolls…

I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still re I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still recovering from Christmas 😂), but I always have holiday candy on hand! This year I filled the jar with petite sour hearts after hearing how amazing they are from @triedandtruemoms. They were right, we are all fans over here! Maybe more places will stock them now that they are in such demand. I ordered mine from @candynationusa (don’t waste your time looking on Amazon. They are charging twice as much for less candy).

Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Sant Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Santa (although the Santa who comes to our house prefers sugar cookies. He can share these with Mrs. Claus). Ruby has them all picked out—-gingerbread boys, gingerbread girls, and ninja-bread cookies. Should be fun. Had to go out and get more molasses and it wasn’t easy to find! Everyone else must be making gingerbread, too!
