Easy Steps to Make Pie Crust Cookies

1. Take your single leftover pie crust and roll it out into a rough rectangle. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect, we’re all about using up what we have!
2. Brush the dough with a few tablespoons of melted butter, making sure to cover the entire surface.
3. In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the melted butter on the pie crust.
4. Starting from the bottom long end of the rectangle, roll the dough into a log, jelly-roll style. Make sure to tuck the ends under to seal it off.
5. Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled dough into 1-inch rounds.
6. Place the rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure to leave about an inch of space between each cookie.
7. Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
8. Once baked, you may notice some sugary, buttery filling leaking out. Simply scrape away any excess and let the cookies cool completely.
