Cherry pie cookies are a delightful blend of soft cookies filled with delicious cherry pie filling and topped with a sweet glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Cherry pie filling
- For the glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each.
- Create an indentation in the center of each cookie using your thumb or the back of a spoon.
- Spoon a small amount of cherry pie filling into the indentation of each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened for easy creaming with sugar.
- Use a good quality cherry pie filling for the best flavor.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
