Directions:
Preheat oven to 400F
Stir together the flour, salt, sugar and use a fork or pastry cutter to cut in the butter and shortening into the crust dough.
Add enough ice water to make the dough form a ball.
Flour a cutting board and roll out the dough to 1/4″ thickness. Use your favorite cookie cutter to cut into an even number of pie crust “cookies.”
Place the cut pie crust cookies onto a lined cookie sheet and brush the top of each with the melted butter.
Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon evenly over all tops.
Use a skewer or chopstick to poke 3 holes in each pie crust cookie and then bake 8-10 minutes.
Let the cookie crusts cool before assembling your pie crust gelato cookie sandwiches.
Place a scoop of HemisFares gelato on one pie crust cookie and place a second pie crust cookie overtop.
Enjoy immediately!
For a little less mess with the same great taste, serve them up in bowl instead!
You will love the way these flaky pie crust cookies blend with creamy HemisFares Gelato. The inspiration and the authentic ingredients from the Sicilian tradition of gelato making can be tasted in every creamy spoonful.
Each variety of gelato is made with regional ingredients and milk from 100% grass-fed cows, then slow-churned for a creamy, smooth texture and rich flavor.
