PIGGIES (SUGAR AND CINNAMON PIE DOUGH COOKIES)

Piggies (Sugar and Cinnamon Pie Dough Cookies) image

Crumbly sugar and cinnamon cookies that you can make as fast as they disappear. My father told me about these cookies that his mother used to make. When she made a pie, she would take the excess dough and make these simple cookies. You don't have to make a pie first, all you need is pie dough. My father loves when I make them for him, and I think you will be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't. My father said she called them Piggies. That's what I call them.

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup shortening
2 tablespoons warm water, or as needed
1 tablespoon shortening
¼ cup white sugar
ground cinnamon

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, or line with parchment paper.
Mix flour and salt together in a bowl, and use a pastry cutter to cut in 1/3 cup of shortening until the mixture forms pea-size balls. With a fork, form a small well in the center of the mixture, and pour in water, a couple of teaspoons at a time, and stir with the fork to mix in the water and form a dough. Incorporate each addition of water before adding the next, until about 3/4 of the flour mixture has formed a stiff dough. Work a little more water in with your hands, and shape the dough into a ball.
Working on a well-floured work surface with a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out into a rectangle about 12 by 16 inches, and about 1/8-inch thick. Spread 1 tablespoon of shortening over the surface of the dough with a soft spatula, and sprinkle sugar all over the dough square. Sprinkle the dough with cinnamon. Pick up a long edge of dough, and tightly roll the dough into a log shape. With a sharp knife, slice the log into 3/4-inch thick slices. Place the slices onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are lightly browned and sizzling on the bottom, about 8 minutes. Cool on paper towels; freeze extras for later.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup oil
1 tablespoon milk
1 -2 teaspoon almond extract or 1 -2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar (I use colored sugars)

Steps:

Heat oven to 375º.
In large bowl, beat 3/4 cup sugar, butter, oil, milk, almond (or vanilla) extract and egg until light and fluffy.
Stir in flour, baking powder and salt; blend well.
Spread evenly in ungreased 15x10 baking pan; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
Bake at 375º for 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown.
Cool 5 minutes.
Cut into squares.

Tips:

Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Use a cookie scoop to measure out the dough. This will help ensure that all of the cookies are the same size and shape.
Bake the cookies at the recommended temperature and time. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
Be creative with your frosting! You can use different colors, flavors, and decorations to make your cookies unique.

Little piggy sugar cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these adorable cookies that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
