"A comfort "cookie"! This perfect cookie-pie crust hybrid is so easy for fall desserts and snacks. Every bite is soft, buttery and full of cinnamon-sugar goodness. Baked with just 3 ingredients in under 10 minutes. The best thing to make with left over or extra pie crust! Delicious plain, or with a sugar drizzle."
Cinna-Munchies
Servings – 10-15 munchies Prep Time – 5 Minutes Cook Time – 10 Minutes
Ingredients:
Munchies:
1 flakey pie crust or store-bought
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons butter, softened
Drizzle: optional
1 cup of confectionary sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla, or your favorite flavoring
2-3 tablespoons milk
Powdered Sugar: optional
powdered sugar, for sprinkling
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a floured surface, roll out pie crust into an approx. 12-inch x 8-inch rectangle. Spread with softened butter, and sprinkle all over with sugar and cinnamon.
Starting at short end, roll crust until you have a tightly rolled log. Slice into 1-inch wide cookies. Place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until pie crust is cooked but slightly underdone. Let rest on baking sheet for a few minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Drizzle or Powdered Sugar:
Combine the sugar, milk and vanilla (or flavoring of choice) and stir until smooth. Picture 5 shows the maple glaze.
Once cookies are cooled dip the top of each cookie in the frosting or drizzle across the top with a fork in a swiping motion. Place the cookies on racks to let the frosting dry before storing.
Or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
"When I was a kid, these were my first-ever baking attempt, and a success. How could you mess up with such simple ingredients, after all, right? The aroma from the oven as they bake still envelops me in anticipation like a little kid! These wonderful munchies are nothing unique, but rather a special family tradition for me."
