Summer reminds me of these cookies too. Every summer my mom would make fruit pies, but I didn’t like fruit pies (still don’t). Anyway, she of course would make the crusts from scratch. She would sprinkle all the left over pieces of crust with cinnamon and sugar and make them into cookies just for me. Yeah, she was pretty rad like that.
- 2 round pie crusts chilled (I buy them pre-made in the refrigerated section)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp Chinese 5-Spice
In small bowl mix sugar and Chinese 5-Spice and set aside. Unroll both crusts on a flat surprise and sprinkle sugar/spice mixture evenly. Cut out in whatever shapes your heart desires. I prefer Oh-HIGH-OH, but just say’n. Place on cookies sheets and bake for 10-11 minutes. Do not over cook. Transfer cookie sheet to cooling rack until cookies are cool.
They’re especially tasty with gourmet jam from De Nada Limonada.
