Ingredients
Scale
- 2 unbaked pie crusts
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Line a baking sheet or cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
- Lightly flour a clean surface.
- Roll out one unbaked pie crust with a rolling pin to approximately a 12 x 18 inch rectangle.
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
- Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the rolled pie crust, covering the edges.
- Gently press the cinnamon sugar mixture down with your hands to help it adhere.
- Roll the pie crust tightly into a log, starting from one of the longer sides.
- Slice the cookie log into 1/2-inch thick cookies.
- Place the sliced cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat the rolling, filling, and slicing process with the second unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies are a light golden brown.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
- Transfer the cooled cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- Optionally, top with melted white chocolate, icing, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
Ensure pie crusts are at room temperature for easier handling.
Press the cinnamon sugar firmly to prevent it from falling out.
Do not overbake; look for a light golden brown color.
Cookies can be frozen unbaked or baked for longer storage.
