Servings: 24
Ingredients:

1 teaspoon cinnamon
2” round cookie cutter
4 ounces cream cheese, softened (low-fat is okay)
2 refrigerated pie crusts
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Equipment:
baking paper
baking sheet
hand mixer
oven
microwave
bowl
wax paper
Cooking instruction summary:
Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat cream cheese with a hand mixer until no lumps remain. Mix in 1/4 cup sugar and vanilla. Unroll pie crusts, one at a time. Cut 2” circles of crust, re-rolling as needed. Place half the circles on the prepared cookie sheets. Spoon a little bit of the cheesecake mixture into the center. (I found it easiest to transfer the cheesecake mixture to a ziploc bag with the tip cut off, and pipe it on.) Place the remaining pie crust rounds on top of the filled ones. Use the tines of a fork to press and seal each pie. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until they begin to turn golden. Let cool for just a minute, until you can touch without burning your fingers, but they should still be hot. Meanwhile, melt butter in a microwave safe dish. In a separate bowl, stir together remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Take each still warm pie and brush with butter, then place in the cinnamon sugar and turn over a few times to thoroughly coat. Place on another cookie sheet lined with wax paper to cool.
