Turn scraps of pie crust into tender flaky cinnamon sugar cookies. They are a fun snack on their own, great dippers for sweet dips or make a pretty garnish for your pie.
Don’t waste your scraps of pie dough, turn them into delicious little cinnamon sugar pastries! They only take a couple of minutes to put together and make use of every bit of that dough. Use them to pretty up your plate when serving the pie or eat them on their own.
This recipe was originally shared by MiMi back in 2015. She made some with pie crust scraps left over from a pumpkin pie she had made for my uncle’s birthday.
I finally had the chance to make my great-grandma’s pie crust recipe, and couldn’t let a single scrap go to waste. So the rest got made into more pie crust cookies.
If have to say the cookies made with her crust recipe practically melted in your mouth. Even my boys, who normally leave the crust on their plates, snatched up these little apple shaped nuggets. That’s how you know they are good!
Of course you don’t have to use homemade pie crust… or scraps for that matter. You can buy pie crust from the grocery store and make these too.
A note from MiMi: If you used store-bought pie dough, you may want to fold it in half and roll it out a little thicker than it came.

She tried the regular thickness for some and re-rolled it thicker for some of the others. She felt like the thicker ones came out nicer.

Yay! I really want to bake an apple pie now!
These cookies are such a great idea!
They are an easy way to dress your pie up, that is for sure! They would also be a great garnish for any other fall dessert!
What a memory! My mom used to make these for Me so I'm asking myself, how come I've never made them for my own kids? Thank you for the reminder and for the lovely recipe! Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday
They are so fun and easy, you should definitely make them. They are great on their own and even better alongside pie! I hope you have a great day!
It makes me so happy to know that one of our recipes brought back fond memories for you! I love it when a recipe does that for me. MiMi
