On the bottom, spoon on the preserves (or another favorite filling) and add the top piece to your pie crust cookies.
Add filling to the bottoms of every cookie. Then add on the tops for your cookies.
Around the edges of your cookies, use a fork to press the two pieces together and to seal in the fillings.
Bake for 15 – 20 minutes. Keep your eye on them and do not allow them to burn.
These cookies can be eaten plain or with your favorite dipping sauce, such as caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, or ice cream.

Here are a few tips for making the perfect cookies from pie crust:
- Use cold pie crust. This will help the cookies to hold their shape while baking.
- Don’t overwork the pie crust dough. Overworking the dough will make the cookies tough.
