Cherry Pie Cookie Cups are seriously the easiest dessert to make. This is a 3 ingredient recipe and is very budget-friendly.

FUN WAYS TO USE CHERRY PIE FILLING

Canned cherry pie filling and other canned pie fillings can be used in so many different ways. They are a perfect shortcut in the kitchen and can save you a lot of time.

If you have some pie filling in the pantry try using it for some of these fun ideas:

• Ice Cream Topping: It is easy to spoon some fruit pie filling on top of a bowl of vanilla ice cream for a quick and yummy dessert.
• Sweet Dips: It is easy to beat some softened cream cheese with some pie filling for a delicious dip for fruit or graham crackers.
• Fruit Parfaits: Make a quick parfait by layering cheesecake filling or yogurt with fruit pie filling and top it off with some whipped topping.

INGREDIENTS FOR CHERRY PIE COOKIE CUPS

I love recipes with only a few ingredients. A 3 ingredient recipe is one of my favorites, just like my Chocolate Cherry Cobbler with Cake Mix! I personally never count cooking spray as an ingredient, but if you do then this is a 4 ingredient recipe!

• Cherry Pie Filling
• Sugar Cookie Dough
• Powdered Sugar
• Non-stick Cooking Spray

HOW TO MAKE CHERRY PIE COOKIE CUPS

This is a very quick recipe to make and so simple that kids can help out too. If you love the flavor of cherry you will love this recipe.

STEP ONE: MAKE CUPS

Start off by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F.

Take a 24 count mini muffin pan and spray it lightly with non-stick cooking spray. This will make removing these little treats from the pan so much easier.

Another option is to use a silicone mini muffin pan for easy removal.

Now grab the tube of store-bought sugar cookie dough and pinch off pieces of dough. Roll the dough into small balls.

Place one dough ball in each mini muffin cup.

STEP TWO: BAKE

Place the muffin pan into your preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes.

As soon as the timer goes off remove the pan from the oven and use a pastry tamper to shape each piece of dough into a cup. Do this by pressing down in the center of each ball.

Let the cookie cup crusts cool completely.

STEP THREE: FILL CUPS

Once the cookie cup crusts are cool it is time to fill them with the cherry pie filling.

Spoon a little bit of cherry pie filling into each cookie cup.

STEP FOUR: SPRINKLE

I like to top each cherry pie cookie cup with a little bit of powdered sugar. The easiest way to do this is to use a sifter or small shaker.

This will distribute the powdered sugar more evenly.

These don’t need a lot of sugar, but a little bit is perfect to offset the cherry flavor.
