Ingredients

FOR CHERRY PIE COOKIES:

  • 21 oz can cherry pie filling

FOR GLAZE:

Instructions

PREP OVEN AND MUFFIN TIN:

  • Move the oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray two standard-size muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray.

PREP COOKIE DOUGH:

  • Slice the roll of refrigerated cookie dough into 12 even slices.
  • Then, cut each of the slices in half to create 24 pieces.
  • Roll each piece into balls. If you’re using the 24 refrigerated sugar cookie ball package, no dividing is needed.

FILL MUFFIN TINS:

  • Take the cookie balls and place one into the bottom of each muffin cavity.
  • Press the cookie dough into the bottom of the muffin pans to evenly distribute the dough, until each cavity is filled.

BAKE, SHAPE, AND COOL:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes, or until the cookie dough is fully cooked through.
  • The cookies should have naturally formed an indentation in the center of each cookie, you can use the back of a spoon to press down the center if it has risen too much.
  • Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Repeat

FILL CHERRY PIE COOKIES:

  • Fill each cookie with about a tablespoon of cherry pie filling.

MAKE GLAZE AND FINISH:

  • Mix together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract to create a glaze.
  • Drizzle or pipe the glaze over the tops of the cherry cookies.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 1-2 days at room temperature, or 5-7 days in the refrigerator.
  • Regular-sized muffin pans were used for this recipe. Mini muffin pans can be used but will create more of a cookie cup shape for the cookie versus a more shallow “pie” shape. Cooking temp/times would remain the same.
