Pie Crust Cookies

One of my favorite cookies was the ones made from leftover uncooked pie crust. There was always a bit of pie crust left after the pies were made for family celebrations. Grandma made them and now I do. I guess it runs in the family. The only difference is that now, at times, I will make the pie crust dough just to make the cookies.

1 recipe for pie crust which has been made and is ready to roll
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup sugar
Stir together the cinnamon and sugar and place in a shaker.
Gather together the scraps of pie crust dough which has been left over or use the freshly made pie crust dough. Cut into oddball shapes with a knife or use a round cookie cutter to cut the cookies before baking. Place on and ungreased cookie sheet. (You may apply a small amount of melted butter to the tops of the cookies. I don't.) Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake eight to 10 minutes at 350- to 375-degrees alongside your pie while it is baking or by themselves, depending on the number. Remove from oven when lightly browned and eat while warm.
