Here are some step-by-step photos of how to make pie crust cookies to help you through the process:
1.) To Make the Dough: In a food processor, add the flour and salt cover, and then pulse a few times to combine. Add the cold butter and pulse until combined. The consistency should be similar to sand. Place the top back on, remove the top piece where you can pour in a liquid, and slowly add the ice water and apple cider vinegar mixture, as the dough is processed until a ball is formed. Stop immediately. Remove the pie dough from the food processor and use it in a recipe right away or wrap it up and store it for when you are ready to use it.
2.) To Make the Shapes: Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper and set aside. On a floured surface, roll the dough out to ¼-inch thickness. Make the chosen shapes. Use the scraps to re-roll and make more shapes. Chill the dough for 30 minutes, if it gets too hard to work with. Brush the tops of the cut-out shapes with the egg wash and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
3.) Bake the Cookies: Bake in a preheated 350°F (177°C) oven for 8-12 minutes. Allow them to cool completely on a wire cooling rack. Enjoy when ready!
