Ingredients
- 1 (16oz.) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 4 ounces whipped cream cheese
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar optional coating
- ¾ cup cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the cookie dough, cream cheese, and flour until fully combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Use a small cookie scoop (4 teaspoons) to portion out the dough and lightly roll it into balls with your hands.
- Roll the dough balls in granulated sugar and place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are set.
- Remove from the oven and gently press the back of a round teaspoon into the center of each to create a well. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Use the teaspoon to scoop cherry pie filling into the well, about 1 cherry in each cookie.
Notes
- Regular cream cheese can be used in this recipe, however, you want to make sure it's softened and the cookies may take an additional couple of minutes to bake.
