Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16.5 oz / 467 g) Pillsbury slice and bake sugar cookie roll
- 1 (21 oz / 595 g) can cherry pie filling
- 1 Wilton cookie icing
- 1 12-count mini muffin pan
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F and thoroughly coat a mini muffin pan with non-stick spray to guarantee seamless cookie extraction.
- Dough Shaping: Slice sugar cookie dough into half-inch rounds, transforming each slice into compact one-inch spheres, strategically positioning them in muffin tin cavities for uniform baking.
- Baking Process: Roast cookie cups until they achieve a luminous golden complexion, approximately 14-18 minutes, simultaneously creating natural indentations or gently pressing centers with a teaspoon post-baking.
- Cooling Stage: Stabilize freshly baked cookie cups within the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to complete cooling and set their delicate structure.
- Filling Technique: Generously populate each cookie cup with luscious cherry pie filling, ensuring complete and visually enticing coverage.
- Finishing Touch: Embellish the filled cookie cups with an elegant icing drizzle, adding a sophisticated and sweet dimension to the dessert.
- Storage: Refrigerate the completed cherry pie cookie cups until serving, maintaining their optimal texture and presentation.
Notes
- Precise Dough Shaping: Roll uniform one-inch dough balls for consistent cookie cup sizes, ensuring even baking and professional-looking results.
- Indentation Technique: Immediately after baking, gently press cookie centers with a teaspoon to create perfect filling wells if they haven’t naturally formed.
- Cooling Strategy: Let cookie cups rest in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack, preventing potential cracking or breaking.
- Storage Tip: Refrigerate completed cherry pie cookie cups to maintain their structural integrity and keep the filling fresh and appetizing.
