I absolutely love cherry pie! It is hands down my favorite pie around the holidays. These cherry pie cookies made with Lucky Leaf pie filling, are a must to bake for the holidays! … or better yet, they are great year round!
One of my favorite cookies to bake are thumbprint cookies. Because Lucky Leaf cherry pie filling is so fantastic, I wanted make these cute little thumbprint cookies with my favorite pie filling. I mean look at that delicious cherry pie filling! The cherries are absolute perfection.
The best part about these cookies is that are cute and little and just the right size. They are made with a delicious butter cookie and the cherry pie filling gives it a burst of flavor. And the cherry baked into the center reminded me of taking a bite of cherry pie. Of course the white chocolate glaze on top gives it the perfect finishing touch.
I loved how they turned out! The cherry pie filling gave these cookies a bright and beautiful presentation. They looked fantastic and would be the first cookies to get eaten in a cookie exchange. They are fun, easy to bake and the perfect cookie!

Do you use plain flour or self rising flour?
I used all purpose flour.
I make these every year for Christmas. They are delicious! Everyone loves them! I was wondering if I can use All butter, or if the margarine is necessary in this recipe.
These cookies came out wonderfully. For me they had to cook longer like 20 minutes. But they taste amazing! they are so light and not that much sugar. I can’t wait to make them for the holidays for my family and co-workers. Plus I think they’d be great for summer parties like the 4th of July, something about cherries during the 4th seems perfect.
