pie crust sugar cookies

Although I have a DESSERT menu planned for Thanksgiving, I was struggling with what to serve our little guests . . . that is, until I had a thought at 2am this morning . . . 

What about making cookies with pie crust scraps!?! 

It's no extra work, since you'll already have pie crust dough lying around from making pies . . . and the kids will love these cookies, especially perched atop a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Not only are they easy to make, but they are yummy too! The buttery pie crust COOKIE melts in your mouth under the crunchy sugar topping! YUM!

So save your pie dough SCRAPS, and make a little something special for your little guests too!

I used a pumpkin cookie cutter and Fall colored sanding sugar, but I think a turkey and maple leaf cookie cutter would be even more cute!
