Ingredients

• 1 premade pie crust
• all purpose flour for dusting
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon whole milk
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Directions

Step 1:

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.

Step 2:

Roll premade pie crust to 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured work surface, and cut using desired cookie cutter shapes.

Step 3:

Transfer cut-outs to prepared baking sheets, leaving about a 1/2-inch space between each cookie. Repeat with remaining dough, rerolling scraps once.

Step 4:

Whisk together egg and milk in a small bowl until combined. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of each cookie evenly with egg mixture; discard remaining egg mixture. Whisk together sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl until evenly combined, sprinkle evenly over brushed cookies.

Step 5:

Bake cookies, one baking sheet at a time, in the preheated oven until the edges and bottoms of cookies just become golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Step 6:

Remove from oven and brush tops of each cookie lightly with melted butter, let cool slightly on baking sheet, about 5 minutes. Serve warm.
