Lattice Pie Cookies

Buttery, crispy Lattice Pie Cookies are flaky pie crust cookies with a little extra crunch and sweetness from sparkling sugar.

Buttery, Delicious and Satisfying

My Lattice Pie Cookies are everything you love about a good, flaky pie crust in a simple, delicious cookie. Buttery pie crust, woven into a classic lattice pattern, with the finishing touch of a sprinkle of sparkling sugar that adds even more crunch and a delicious sweetness. They bake up so golden and crispy. Use a homemade pie crust recipe or your favorite store-bought brand – either way, these cookies are so delicious and satisfying!

Ready for Dipping or Drizzling

These buttery creations are delicious all on their own. But they’re also fabulous for dipping in jams, pie filing or chocolate fondue or drizzling with caramel. Such a versatile cookie with a subtle sweetness and a fun crunch that makes pairing them with other sweets just divine!

Ingredients and Supplies

(see recipe card at the bottom of this post for measurements and details)

Ingredients:

• All-purpose flour: keeps the pie dough from sticking to your work surface, making it easier to roll, cut, and weave into a lattice.
• Refrigerated rolled pie crusts: give the cookies their slightly sweet, buttery flavor, and a crispy, flaky texture when baked. Store-bought pie crusts such as Pillsbury or JusRol make this recipe quick and easy or you could use my homemade pie crust recipe.
• Large egg: brushed over the cookies before baking to give them a beautiful golden color and slightly glossy finish as they bake, and helps the sparkling sugar stick to the surface of the cookies.
• Water: thins the egg wash so it’s easier to brush evenly over the cookies.
• Sparkling sugar: adds a sweet, crunchy topping and a pretty sparkle that makes these cookies extra special.

Supplies:

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Rolling pin
• Spatula
• 2.5-inch round cookie cutter or glass

How to Make Lattice Pie Cookies

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lightly flour your work surface, then unroll the piecrusts. Using a rolling pin, roll each crust slightly thinner, about 1/8-inch thick. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips.
• On another lightly floured work surface, arrange half of the strips vertically, side by side, leaving a small space between each strip. Fold back every other strip halfway.

• Lay 1 strip horizontally across the unfolded strips.
• Then return the folded strips over the top.
• Fold back the alternate strips and lay another horizontal strip across.

• Continue weaving in this manner until you have a lattice.
• Gently press the intersections and outer edges to help hold the lattice together.
• Using the 2.5-inch round cookie cutter or glass, cut out about 16 rounds.

• Carefully transfer to the prepared baking sheet with a spatula.
• In a small bowl, mix the egg and 1 tablespoon of water for an egg wash.
• Brush each cookie with the egg wash, then sprinkle with the sparkling sugar.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden and crisp. Let cool completely before serving.

Make Ahead and Storage

Make Ahead: These Lattice Pie Cookies are perfect for making ahead! Bake them up to 4 days in advance and store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to serve. Be sure to let them cool completely before storing to keep them crisp and flaky.

Storage Tips: Place parchment paper between layers to protect their delicate lattice design. For longer storage, freeze the baked and cooled cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving. If they lose some of their crispness, pop them in a 300°F oven for 3–5 minutes to freshen them up!
