Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 can Lucky Leaf cherry fruit filling
  • 1/2 cup sanding sugar

Instructions

  • In large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set flour mixture to the side.
  • In bowl to standing mixer, use paddle attachment to cream together butter and sugar for 3-4 minutes on medium speed, until light in color and fluffy in texture.
  • Reduce mixer speed to low, add in one egg at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  • Add in flour mixture. Once cookie dough comes together, stop the mixer (overmixed cookie dough results in a bad kind of chewy).
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal parts (1 cup each). Each cup will be used to make one cookie.
  • First, lay down a large square of plastic wrap on work surface. Divide the 1 cup of dough to 2 parts. Take one part and roll into a ball and then flatten with palms of your hands, and then create an edge around the perimeter of the cookie (to hold the filling).
  • Place 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp of cherry filling in the center.
  • Use the other half of dough, flatten to a round circle, and place on top of the filling.
  • Pinch together the edges and smooth out the sides to seal the cookie.
  • Cover cookie with sanding sugar.
  • Place cookie in freezer, repeat steps for other cookies.
  • Freeze for at least 30 mins. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350F.
  • Bake for 30-35 mins; or until edges are golden brown and center no longer has appearance of wet dough.
  • Allow cookies to cool for 30 mins before touching to avoid them breaking apart
