Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
Crumb Topping:
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and press into the muffin tin to form cups.
- Fill each cup with a spoonful of cherry pie filling.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, flour, and sugar to create the crumb topping. Sprinkle over each cup.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until cookie edges are golden brown. Let cool before removing from the tin.
Notes
To prevent cookie cups from sticking, generously grease the mini muffin tin or use muffin liners.
Swap cherry pie filling with other flavors like apple or blueberry for variety.
To make ahead, bake and freeze the cookie cups for up to 2 months. Thaw before serving.
