Instructions
Cookies
Preheat oven to 400 ℉.
Beat butter, cream cheese, milk and sugar together.
Then add egg yolk. Stir flour and baking powder into butter mixture to make a stiff dough. Works best if chilled overnight or for a few hours.
Roll out dough ¼" thick. Cut into circles with a 2 inch round cookie cutter.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet 1" apart. Make an indent in each cookie with your thumb and fill with 1 teaspoon of cherry pie filling.
Bake 10-12 minutes. Cool completely.
Glaze
Mix powdered sugar and milk. If it's too runny add more powdered sugar. If too thick, add a little milk. Mix until smooth.
Put glaze in a sandwich baggie with the corner snipped off. Pipe the glaze onto the top of each cookie.
Notes
These cookies should freeze fine in an airtight freezer container.
