Ingredients

• 170 grams unsalted butter
• 170 grams cream cheese, softened
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams brown sugar, packed
• 1 piece large egg
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 300 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup canned cherry pie filling
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the unsalted butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the bowl, and beat again until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 4

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 5

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

Step 8

Use the back of a spoon or your thumb to create a small indentation in the center of each cookie.

Step 9

Fill each indentation with a small spoonful of cherry pie filling (about 2-3 cherries per cookie).

Step 10

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden. The centers will remain soft.

Step 11

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Optional: Once the cookies are fully cooled, dust them lightly with powdered sugar for garnish.

Step 13

Serve and enjoy your homemade Cherry Cheesecake Cookies!
