Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 Tablespoon milk
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 1 egg, yolk
  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 30 ounces cherry pie filling
Glaze
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons milk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 ℉.
  2. Beat butter, cream cheese, milk and sugar together. Then add egg yolk.
  3. Stir flour and baking powder into butter mixture to make a stiff dough. Works best if chilled overnight or for a few hours.
  4. Roll out dough ¼" thick. Cut into circles with a 2 inch round cookie cutter.
  5. Place on ungreased cookie sheet 1" apart. Make an indent in each cookie with your thumb and fill with 1 teaspoon of cherry pie filling.
  6. Bake 10-12 minutes. Cool completely.
  7. Mix powdered sugar and milk. If it's too runny add more powdered sugar. If too thick, add a little milk. Mix until smooth.
  8. Put glaze in a sandwich baggie with the corner snipped off. Pipe the glaze onto the top of each cookie.
