Equipment

  • mini muffin pan
  • pastry tamper

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Cherry Pie filling
  • 16 ounces Sugar Cookie Dough
  • 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
  • Non-stick Cooking Spray

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Spray a 24 count mini muffin pan lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Pinch off pieces of sugar cookie dough and roll into small balls. Place one ball in each of the 24 mini muffin cups.
    16 ounces Sugar Cookie Dough
  • Place muffin pan in oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and immediately use a pastry tamper to create the cookie cups. Press down in the center of each muffin cup to create a "cup."
  • Let cookie cups cool completely.
  • Spoon cherry pie filling into each cup.
    16 ounces Cherry Pie filling
  • Sprinkle powdered sugar over each cup with a sifter or small shaker.
    1/4 cup Powdered Sugar

Notes

  • Make sure you check the cookie cups before they come out of the oven, they should be lightly golden brown around the edges. 
  • Don’t overfill the cups with pie filling - two or three tablespoons should be enough. 
  • Make sure the cookie cups have cooled completely before you attempt to remove them from the mini muffin tin or cupcake pan. 
  • If you don’t have a pastry tamper, use the bottom of a small spoon or glass to press down and make an indent in each cookie cup.  A tablespoon works great. 
  • If you don't have cooking spray, you can use shortening or butter to grease your baking dish and then dust it with a light coating of flour. 
  • I like to use my hands to shape the cookie dough balls, but you could also use a mini cookie scoop.
