Make the best cinnamon roll cookies with this easy recipe that uses pie crust! A perfect homemade recipe for a delicious taste of home that can be made with einkorn or any wheat! A great way to use extra pie crust during the holidays too!
Over the Christmas break I somehow managed to find just a bit of time on my hands. So I got to play around with a few new recipes that I had been pondering for a while.
One of those new recipes was a fun way to use up my leftover Pie Crust from all the holiday pies that we had baked. I ended up keeping all the scraps in a bag to see if there was something I could use them for...
Turns out, there was!
Cinnamon Roll Cookies

They came together quickly and were in the oven less than 5 minutes after I started the process!

I ended up with about 2 dozen cookies, but only had 6 left to take pictures of! They went that fast! Definitely a hit and I will be making them again soon!

If you have another question not listed here, feel free to ask it in the comments!
Can I use store bought pie crust?
Absolutely! You can use any type of store bought or homemade pie crust you'd like.
You can even buy pie crust just for this recipe, it doesn't have to be the scraps from holiday baking! ;-)
Is the recipe sweet enough to leave off the icing?
Yes, this recipe can stand on its own, though the icing is delicious!
How long do these last?
If you can get your family to leave them alone (good luck!), these cinnamon roll cookies last about 5 days at room temperature, longer in the fridge!
Can I warm them up again later?
Absolutely! If you think you'd like to warm them again later, you might leave off the icing and apply it after warming.
Otherwise it might "melt" into the cookie when warming. You can make the icing and keep it in the fridge until ready to use :-)
