Notes
expert tips
- Be sure to roll out pie crust evenly for uniform cooking time of the cookies.
- Cookies rolled to ¼ inch thickness will have a flakier pie crust texture where cookies rolled to ⅛ inch will have a crisper texture.
- Add nutmeg or other spices for more robust flavor if you would like.
- For best results serve pie dough cookies fresh. Storage life in an airtight container on the kitchen counter for 3-4 days.
- These cookies are delicious on their own, for more pizzazz serve them with whipped cream, dessert dips, glazes or even as a topping for ice cream!
