Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 Pie dough (enough for a single-crust pie)
Secondary Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) Melted butter
Finishing Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) Cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal baking preparation.
- Gather pie dough scraps or create a fresh dough ball. Dust a clean work surface with flour and carefully roll out the dough to approximately 1/4 inch (0.6 centimeters) thickness.
- Using a pastry brush, liberally coat the rolled dough surface with melted butter, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture uniformly across the buttered dough, creating a consistent flavor layer.
- Select preferred cookie cutters and gently press into the dough to create desired shapes, carefully transferring each cut piece onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Position the cookies with slight spacing between them to prevent merging during baking and ensure uniform cooking.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, watching for a golden-brown edge as an indicator of perfect doneness.
- Remove from the oven and allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, which helps them set and prevents breaking.
- Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack, letting them cool completely to achieve the ideal texture and crispness.
Notes
- Chill the dough thoroughly to prevent spreading and maintain crisp edges during baking.
- Roll dough between parchment paper for smoother, more consistent thickness without extra flour.
- Experiment with warm spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to transform basic cookie flavor profiles.
- Monitor baking closely since thin cookies can quickly transition from golden to burnt.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for structural integrity before transferring to cooling rack.
