Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Gather your pie trimmings into a ball. Lightly flour your rolling surface and the top of the dough ball.
  2. Roll the dough out into the rough shape of a long thin rectangle.
  3. Cut the two short, rounded sides to form a straight edge on either end of the rectangle.
  4. Dust the flour off the top of the dough, then spread it evenly with melted butter to coat the entire surface.
  5. Sprinkle it with sugar, then with cinnamon.
  6. Roll the rectangle up horizontally into a long, thin tube. This will make several small pinwheels cookies. Alternatively, you could roll it vertically to make larger cookies; you will end up with fewer cookies this way.
  7. Slice the tube into cookies.
  8. Place cookies swirl-side up onto an ungreased baking sheet. Spread the top of each cookie with a little more melted butter.
  9. Sprinkle them with a little extra sugar for good measure.Bake the cookies for 30-45 minutes till the edges are golden brown and the cookies are crisp. Baking time will vary based on how big the cookies were cut.
  10. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Serve. They go great with an ice cold glass of milk.
