Cut out cookies are one of the most fun desserts to make in my opinion. They are great to make with kids as they get to be a huge part of the baking process.
The recipe for these Eiffel Tower Pie Crust Cookies is so simple, you just have to buy a pie crust. You don’t have to spend the time or effort in making and chilling the dough. It is really the perfect recipe to do with kids as they can roll out the dough and help with all the steps.
The cookies are delicious and I did sprinkle some red sugar on some at the end and they looked really festive. The only change I would make to the recipe is to cut out the cookie shapes first and then once they are cut out brush with the butter/vanilla mixture and sprinkle the sugar on them. This way if you have scraps of dough it will be easier to put that together and roll out to cut out more cookies. I hate to waste dough so even though I had already put the butter/vanilla mixture and the sugar on them I still put the dough together. They turned out okay since I had enough of the butter/vanilla mixture to coat the cookies again.
I will definitely make these again and remember it depends on how large your Eiffel Tower cookie cutter is as to how many cookies you will get out of the recipe. I used this cookie cutter*, but I also love this one* from Sur La Table.
