Ingredients

  • 1 package ready to bake sugar cookie dough (24 count)
  • 1 21 ounces/595g can cherry pie filling
  • ¼ cup (26g) powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons (15-30ml) heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray mini muffin pans with nonstick baking spray (the kind with flour) or grease and flour the pans. Don’t skip this step or your cookies will stick.
  • Place one cookie dough ball in each muffin pan cavity. Bake 18-22 minutes or until the cookies are fully baked.
  • Cool 5-10 minutes, then use the back of a wooden spoon handle or the rounded part of a ½ teaspoon to press the cookie into a cup.
  • Cool completely before trying to remove. Use a butter knife to carefully loosen and pop the cookie cup out of the muffin pan.
  • Fill each cookie cup with some of the cherry pie filling.
  • To make glaze: whisk powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, adding more cream until you get desired consistency. Drizzle over cherry pies.
  • Store pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I don’t recommend freezing.

Notes

• If you want homemade, use my sugar cookie recipe and my homemade cherry pie filling.
• Add a few drops of almond extract to the icing for a flavor twist.
• Icing can be made with milk, nonfat milk or half and half but it will be thinner and you’ll need much less (start with 1 teaspoon and work up 1 teaspoon at a time).
