In the scheme of things I could make my own pie crust and I do sometimes but sometimes it is easier to buy the ready made pie crust.
This is one of those sometimes.
The September theme for Cookie Thursday is a Thing is Cookies for Breakfast. Each week will be a different cookie based on breakfast.
Today is pop-tart
My favorite kind of pop-tart is the cinnamon brown sugar. Frosting is unnecessary. I hate making frosting, you may recall.
But somehow this frosting worked and got hard.
It is a simple recipe. Crust, mixture of brown sugar, 1 tsp flour, a bit of salt, and cinnamon. You spread it over the bottom crust and top with the top crust. You are supposed to seal the edges but I did not. A step I did not miss was spreading 1 tbs of butter over the whole thing. Before it goes in the oven.
If you do seal the edges you need to poke vents so that the steam can escape during baking. Let cool slightly and spread on the frosting.
I am not sure what made the frosting work this time. By work, I mean harden.
So I can cut and stack them, of course.
Very simple recipe but wow, what a result.
Buttery, flaky, cinnamon-y. Just enough frosting to make it interesting.
I will not kick these out of the cookie jar.
