5-Ingredient Pie Crust Cookies
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Chilling Time: 4 hours
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, chilled
- 1/4 cup water
- Cinnamon and sugar mixture
Instructions:
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
5. Braid the three pieces together until you reach the end of the strips. Using your sealed end as a base, wrap the entire braid around that base. Tuck the braid under the cookie and gently press the cookie flat in your hand.
6. Repeat until the rest of the dough strips are used up. Arrange cookies on a greased cookie sheet. Brush each cookie with melted butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture.
7. Bake for 10 minutes or until cookies just start to brown. If you prefer crunchy cookies, cook for a few minutes longer.
