Easy Pie Crust Cookies

The use of a food processor makes these Easy Pie Crust Cookies quick and easy to make. The cookies are buttery, flaky, and delicious, making them ideal for any occasion or as a delightful treat.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Turn on your oven and heat it up to 375F 190C

Put the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and blend them together

To mix, pulse a few times

Put the butter cubes that have been chilled into the food processor

Pulse the ingredients together until they look like big crumbs

Put the cold water and vanilla extract in a small bowl and mix them together

Pour the water mixture in slowly while pulsing the food processor

Use short pulses to make the dough stick together

Moving the dough to a floured surface, quickly knead it into a smooth ball

Split the dough in half

Roll out each half to the thickness you want, which should be about 1/8 inch

Cut out the shapes you want with cookie cutters and put them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Get the rest of the dough, roll it out again, and keep cutting it until it's all gone

After the oven is hot, bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown

Take the cookies out of the oven and set them on a wire rack to cool

After the cookies are completely cool, you can decorate them however you like or just eat them plain
