Preparation
- Make the pie crust cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
- Unroll each pie dough round and brush with the beaten egg. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the dough to cover completely.
- Using a 2-inch square cookie cutter, cut out as many pieces as you can from the dough and place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly.
- Bake the cookies until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
- While the cookies bake, make the dip: In a large, high-walled skillet, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, maple syrup, and eggs. Turn the heat to medium-low and continue whisking until the mixture is homogeneous and begins to turn frothy and light brown, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the butter, vanilla, and salt until the butter is completely melted.
- Add the pecans, chocolate chips, and dried cranberries and stir until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with more dried cranberries and toasted pecans. Serve warm with the pie crust cookies for dipping.
- Enjoy!
