5-Ingredient Pie Crust Cookies

November 11, 2013 by RecipeLion

A flaky, buttery pie crust is an essential part of any pie recipe. If you can’t wait to get to the edge when you’re eating a piece of pie, you’ve got to try this easy cookie recipe. Pie crust cookies are everything you love about a homemade pie crust, but in cookie form! Everyone loves a great, easy cookie recipe, especially around the holidays, and this is one you’ll want to make over and over. The 5-Ingrediet Pie Crust Cookies are dusted with cinnamon and sugar, so they’re just sweet enough to enjoy for breakfast, dessert or a snack any time of day.

 

Although these cookies use a homemade all-butter pie crust recipe, you can also substitute store-bought pie crust and roll it out in the same way. These braided cookies look complicated, but are actually super easy to make! If you’re in a pinch for time, you can also use this basic pie crust recipe to make cut-out cookies.

  • 1/2 cup butter, chilled
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Cinnamon and sugar mixture

3. Roll dough out onto a floured surface as thin as you can get it. Cut off the round edges so you’re left with a square.

4. Cut the dough into thin slices (1/8 – 1/4 inch). Pinch three slices together at one end, using a dab of water to help seal the ends.

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.
