The pie crust is always my favorite part of just about any pie, sweet or savory, so these little morsels of pie crust deliciousness are a favorite of mine, and one of the easiest cookies to make!

The politically correct way of making these is to use leftover pie dough, however, I did not go this route.

I started with pre-made store bought refrigerated pie crusts to test out this recipe.
Mix up some cinnamon sugar; I use 1/4 c of sugar to 1 tsp. of cinnamon.

Lightly brush a small amount of melted butter across the pie crust, and then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or colored sugar or sprinkles.
Then use some little cookie cutters to cut out the shapes you want.
Bake on a lightly sprayed cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, and that's it.
Watch the time though, since oven heat varies.

Pie Crust Cookies

- Flour
- Melted butter

Even my picky eater liked these. They are lightly sweet with a hint of saltiness, and a little crunchy like a cracker, yum!
Hope you enjoy!
Blessings,

I also do this with leftover pie crust. I will give both of my daughters a little ball to make cookies with. Then I will sprinkle them with sugar and cinnamon. Seeing this put a smile on my face, thanks!

What a fun idea! We make pizza at home all the time and this is a perfect use of leftover pie crust.

I think that this sounds like a fun activity for the kids to do tomorrow!!! I was trying to figure out what would entertain my son and his friend and I think that this makes sense to try. If they don't do it then I think that my son and I will have to make them on Friday. I really need to look for some cute mini cookie cutters. I don't have enough small ones but I guess I need to add it to the wish list. I can't wait to taste the final product!!!

I love pie crust cookies! My Granny would make extra pie dough just so she could make cookies out of them with sprinkles! They have always been a favorite! You have a wonderful blog and I look forward to reading more!

What a great and easy recipe! I'll be using the pie crust not-from-leftover-pie-baking too!! I think this will be a great "snack in the car" when I pick up my granddaughter from school on Fridays!! I bet she would love to help make them too!

I make these for my daughter as Mom always made them for us when I was growing up. Of course, her crust was from scratch and she just used the leftover. I just buy the crust and don't even make the pie! I use a pizza cutter to slice them up before baking.
Deb @ Paper Turtle says
My mom used to make something similar when we were kids. Thanks for the memory! Yours are so cute cut into shapes!
