Peanut Butter Pie Cookies

I saw something similar to this on Pinterest, but the picture had no recipe associated with it, so I pretty much just winged it.  I did not take any measurements since I did not think there was any real risk since I was working with such safe ingredients. I encourage everyone and anyone to experiment with this recipe and have fun!!! 

Ingredients: 

 

1 box of Pillsbury Pie Crust

(I recommend keeping your crust in the fridge all the way up until you use it)

Creamy Peanut Butter... 

...or Nutella! 

light brown sugar 
(or brown sugar for a more robust flavor)

 sugar

Preparation:

Right from the fridge, roll out one of your two pie crusts. 

Spread with your desired amount of peanut butter (or Nutella!)
I put a layer approximately 1/8th of an inch thick. 

Sprinkle brown sugar over the peanut butter spread. 
I didn't measure, but I would guess that I used approximately 1/4 cup

Add the second pie crust on top of your peanut butter and brown sugar
(right from the fridge! If you have had it out this 
whole time it will be more difficult to work with) 

  Using a glass, cut out circles to your desired size cookie

Using either a fork or your fingers, 
pinch the edges of your cookies together. 

Toss each cookie in a 50-50 mixture of

 brown sugar and granular sugar

(Save this mixture, you can use the remaining sugar again later!)

Place each cookie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake at 410 degrees for 7 minutes

You can stop here and keep a pie-like appearance...

... or for a sweeter cookie, toss in your remaining sugar mixture.

When I made these with Nutella I used a sugar

 icing from confectioners sugar and 

water and added an icing drizzle on top :)
