Mini Apple Pie Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter
  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 5 teaspoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can apple pie filling, or as needed
  • 2 tablespoons sugar, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
To begin, prepare the baking surfaces by lining two baking sheets with parchment paper.
3
Next, create the dough mixture: Combine softened butter, cream cheese, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Blend until the ingredients form a smooth consistency. Add flour, 5 teaspoons of granulated sugar, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon; blend until the dough comes together in a cohesive mass.
4
Roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch thick circle on a lightly floured surface. Utilize a cookie cutter to cut out 48 uniform circles.
5
For the next step, spread a layer of apple pie filling onto 24 of the dough circles. Cover these with the remaining 24 dough circles, pressing the edges together to seal the cookies.
6
Arrange the sealed cookies on the prepared baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven until they are golden brown, taking 23 to 29 minutes.
7
Allow the cookies to cool for a brief period of 5 minutes before proceeding.
8
To complete the recipe, prepare the sugar and cinnamon topping: In a shallow dish, combine 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
9
Once the cookies have cooled slightly, roll them in the sugar and cinnamon mixture to coat evenly.
10
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool further briefly.
