The Christmas Holidays are my favorite time to be creative in the kitchen with all of the leftovers!  Leftover sugar cookie dough  or butter cookie dough..turn it into a delicious crostata. Add some lemon rind and dash of vanilla to the dough.

Butter and flour an 8″ crostata pan or pie pan, but should be shallow like a crostata pan. Press cookie dough into pan and on sides to form a crust. Pierce bottom with a fork.
