Cookies Base Ingredients

1 batch Leftover pie dough, homemade or store-bought Scraps from about one double-crust pie, enough for roughly 50 small cookies
2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
as needed All-purpose flour For the work surface

Preparation

Heat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough scraps to about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut the rolled dough into desired shapes (leaf shapes, stars, strips, or squares) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Chilling and Baking

Chill the cut dough for 20 to 30 minutes.
After chilling, brush the tops lightly with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over each piece.
Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are cooked through and just starting to brown at the edges.
Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a rack.

These cookies are perfect for reducing food waste and are great for a variety of occasions.
