We love cherry pie cookies, but everyone else was asking for different flavors, so we got creative and starting making blueberry and apple with a crumb topping, yummo.

Recipe is for one batch of cookies using one can of filling to make 20 cookies. I double and triple this recipe to make different flavors at one time.

Cookie Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup margarine, softened

2 cups flour

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 (21 oz) can of cherry pie filling, OR apple pie filling, OR blueberry pie filling, OR any other yummy filling! (bonus points for using homemade filling)

1/2 cup white chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips (I used Wilton candy melts or Vanilla Candy Coating)

Optional : Crumb Topping Ingredients for Apple Pie Cookies:

1/3 cup flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

3 Tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Open your cans of pie filling and make your crumb topping.

Check the cherry pie filling for pits and cut your apple pie filling into smaller chunks or a coarse dice.

Crumb topping for apple pie cookies:

With a spoon or fork, mix the following in a small bowl until crumbly:

1/3 cup flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

3 Tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon cinnamon

In a medium bowl, use a mixer to mix butter and margarine until fluffy. Add flour, powdered sugar and vanilla just until combined and soft dough is formed.

Roll the dough into 1 1/2 inch balls. Place on greased baking sheet or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press thumb into center of cookie to make a well. Place pie filling into each cookie.

Bake for 12-15 minutes. Allow cookies to cool.

Melt chocolate according to package directions. Use a spoon to drizzle over cookies or use a sandwich bag to make a piping bag.

To make a piping bag, fill a sandwich bag with melted chocolate. Using scissors, clip a small piece of the bag corner. (Note: if your chocolate is too stiff to drizzle, add up to 1 teaspoon of vegetable shortening)

Let chocolate set and serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

These cookies disappear so fast we rarely have any left to store! Happy Baking!
