snickerdoodle pie

I love snickerdoodle cookies! 

They're a sugar cookie, of sorts . . . and known for their lightly crisp cinnamon and sugar shell. Yum! 

They are soft and moist . . . and CHEWY!! The perfect choice to pair with flavored hot drinks and bold ice creams! 

And so I give you . . . Snickerdoodle Pie! 

It's HEAVENLY about 10 minutes right out of the oven, as the melted brown sugar and cinnamon are bubbling and oozing out from under the cookie pie . . . like a melted toffee syrup. Dreamy!

After it cools, it takes on more of a snickerdoodle cookie texture . . . BUT with ALOT more cinnamon goodness. 

I like to serve it WARM with a generous scoop of pumpkin ice cream. 

And there you have it . . . Fall on a plate! 

Here's what you'll need . . . 

pie crust

for the Cookie Pie Base

2 tbsp. cinnamon sugar, divided

2 tbsp. melted butter

1/4 cup butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. cream of tartar

1/2 cup milk

1 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp. vanilla

for the Cinnamon Sugar Syrup

1/4 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar

3 tbsp. water

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

2 tbsp. corn syrup

1 tsp. vanilla

Preparation pictorial . . . 

If using a store bought pie dough, be sure and read the directions regarding thawing time.



Form pie dough in a pie dish.

I love ruffles, so I chose to make a scalloped edge on the dough.

Brush melted butter over pie crust and sprinkle with 1 tbsp. of cinnamon sugar.

Beat together 1/4 cup butter, sugar, powdered sugar, baking powder, salt, cream of tartar, egg, milk, flour, and 1 tsp. vanilla. Spread evenly in the pie crust.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/4 c. butter, brown sugar, water, cinnamon, corn syrup, and 1 tsp. vanilla. Gently boil for 2 minutes. Carefully pour over batter in pie crust and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar.

Cover the edges with foil and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 15-20 minutes until just set in the middle.

**Slightly shake the pie dish. You want a firm jiggle, and then you know it's the perfect doneness.

       Slice and serve with pumpkin ice cream. Yum!  

Enjoy!
