9 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 unbaked pie crust
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

Prepare the oven and baking sheet

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.

Roll out the dough

  1. Place the unbaked pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a thin rectangle; an exact shape is not required, but an even thickness is important.

Brush with butter

  1. Using a pastry brush, coat the surface of the dough evenly with the melted butter, ensuring full coverage to help the sugar adhere.

Add the sugar mixture

  1. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

Shape the cookies

  1. Beginning at the long edge of the rectangle, roll the dough tightly into a log, jelly-roll style. Tuck the ends under to seal the roll.

Slice and arrange

  1. With a sharp knife, cut the roll into 1-inch rounds. Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Bake

  1. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown. Allow to cool on the sheet briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Remove any caramelized sugar from the edges before serving.

Notes

To prepare this recipe gluten-free, substitute the standard pie crust with a certified gluten-free version. Verify that the cinnamon and sugars are processed in gluten-free facilities to avoid cross-contamination.
