  • unbleached all purpose flour optional
  • 1 refrigerated pie crust
  • ⅓ stick salted butter softened, 2 ⅔ tablespoons

Instructions

    ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

  • Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, until the dough is starting to brown and sugar is caramelizing. They may need more time; it's important to go by the look of the cookies.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for a minute, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
