To make mini-pie slices use a knife to cut simple circles into wedges.  The size of the cookies will depend on what size cutter you use.

When it comes to circle cutters I love graduated sets because I always have the size I need.  If you have a mini-candy corn cutter, that would work too.
I used a four inch round cutter so the baked cookies were about two inches in length.

To make these cookies you will need:
  • Pumpkin orange 20-second icing
  • Stiff-ish crust colored piping icing {I mixed ivory with a little warm brown}
  • Stiff white piping icing
Begin by flooding the wedges with orange 20-second icing and let dry.

To make the crust, position a #101 tip near the left corner of the cookie, thin side up.  Slowly move up and down in a loose “M” shape until you reach the opposite side.

Use a boo-boo stick or toothpick to clean up any sharp points if necessary.  If you’re new to petal tips, don’t let them intimidate you.  Practice on a paper towel until you feel confident.

Finish up by using a star tip to add a dollop of whipped cream.  I used a #16, but an #18 would work well too.

Including the crust my mini pie cookies were just a little over two inches long.
