Cherry Pie Cookies

These simple cherry pie filling cookies are soft, sweet, and taste just like homemade mini cherry pies. Each bite is filled with buttery dough and cherry pie filling, which makes them one of the best cherry desserts to share.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package unbaked pie crust 2 crusts
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Unroll both pie crusts onto the lined baking sheet, one on top of the other. Cut out 9 sets of mini pie crusts using your 3-inch round biscuit cutter.
  • Remove and discard the scraps. Remove the top layer of crusts and set them aside. Use a small scoop to add a heaping tablespoon of the pie filling to the center of each bottom crust.
  • Lay out all of the top crusts on a cutting board. Cut each one into about 8 small strips for the lattice tops.
  • If you want to be really fancy, you can weave the strips on top of the filling. Work on one cookie at a time. Pick up every other strip. Take the shortest strip you picked up, and weave it over the first strip you didn't pick up, then under the next, and over the third, and under the fourth. Repeat this process for the other 3 strips, and then carefully pick it up and place it on the first cookie. Repeat for all the cookies.
    Alternatively, place 4 strips going one direction and the other 4 in the opposite direction, so they look like a lattice without all the work. This is what we did in the photos.
  • Press the edges of the strips into the edges of the bottom crusts.
  • Brush the melted butter over the tops of all the cherry pie cookies, then sprinkle the sugar on top.
  • Bake cookies for about 20-25 minutes, or the tops are golden.
  • To serve as hand-held cookies, cool to room temperature before serving.
    To serve as mini pies, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
