Ingredients
- 1 Single Pie Crust homemade or store bought
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp heavy cream or milk
- ⅛ cup sugar
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- If you are using a homemade pie crust start by rolling the crust out to about 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface.
- Use any fun fall shaped cookie cutters to start cutting out shapes then place the cut out shapes on the prepared baking sheet.
- Use a small sharp knife to decorate the cookies and add veining or other details before you bake.
- Make the egg wash by whisking together the egg and cream in a small bowl.
- Combine cinnamon and sugar in a bowl to make cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Brush the egg wash onto the pie crust cookies with a pastry brush. Use the cinnamon sugar mixture and sprinkle it all over each cookie.
- Put the cookies into the freezer for about 10 minutes to allow the pie crust to harden slightly.
- After the cookies freeze for 10 minutes bake them in the prepared oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before taking them off and serve them warm. Serve immediately or topped with a simple glaze.

Notes
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days at room temperature. They’ll still be good that way but are best eaten the day of. If you use any sort of cream cheese glaze, make sure to store in the fridge.
- Make sure the pie crust is rolled out evenly, especially if using a homemade pie crust, so the cookies bake evenly. If some parts are thicker than others, you’ll end up with either doughy cookies or burnt ones unless you’re very careful with your baking.
- Experiment with adding different flavors to the cinnamon sugar toppings. Nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice would make a great treat!
- Serve these with homemade whipped cream, a sweet cream cheese, your favorite dessert dip (I recommend this cannoli dip), or even a pumpkin dip.
