Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar (divided)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (more if needed)
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
Other
- 2 pie crusts (1 package, contains 2 crusts)
Instructions
- Get prepped: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Make the cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix half of the white sugar (1/2 cup) with the teaspoon of cinnamon thoroughly. Place the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar separately in another small bowl for later use.
- Prepare the pie crusts: Unroll the two pie crusts and smooth them out gently using a rolling pin to remove any folds or creases.
- Butter the crusts: Evenly brush the melted butter all over the surface of both pie crusts to help the cinnamon sugar stick and for added richness.
- Sprinkle cinnamon sugar: Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered pie crusts to ensure each bite is flavorful.
- Roll the dough: Starting from one edge, roll the pie crusts into tight logs. Rolling tightly helps the cookies hold their shape while baking.
- Slice the cookies: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled logs into even pieces about 1/2 inch thick, and place them spaced slightly apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until they turn lightly golden brown and the sugar mixture bubbles.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the sheet to firm up and avoid breaking.
- Roll in sugar: Once cooled, roll each cookie in the remaining white sugar for an extra sweet coating and delightful texture.
- Serve and enjoy: Your pie crust cookies are ready to eat! Enjoy these simple, flaky treats fresh or store them in an airtight container for later.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of cinnamon according to your taste preference.

- Rolling cookies tightly helps maintain their shape during baking.
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute salted butter with unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt to the sugar mixture.
