Crustie Cookies

This is a favorite from childhood. Via my Mom, maybe she learned from her Mom or her aunt who lived with the family. When I was kid, she'd let us make the crustie cookies and I would labor over making cool shapes and designs. As an adult, I'm more likely to just put them out as they are.

Crustie Cookies
leftover pie crust pieces from making a pie
water
cinnamon sugar

1. If pieces are really small, mash together and re-roll.
2. Cut pieces into whatever sizes and shapes you want. Good idea to keep under 2" wide.
3. Put on cookie sheet. Prick with a fork. Brush a little water on (with fingers or a pastry brush). Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
4. Bake with pie (or 350) for about 10-15 minutes, depending on size and amount. Watch carefully as they are small and thin so can burn easily.
