16 oz. cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
2 whole eggs
2 tsp. Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract
3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. Clabber Girl® Baking Powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 can cherry pie filling

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F
With an electric or stand mixer, cream the cream cheese, butter, shortening and sugar until smooth; scrape the sides of the bowl.
Add the eggs and vanilla and mix to combine, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture. Blend on low just until combined.
Using a 1 oz. scoop, portion the dough into 36 balls. Roll each one in graham cracker crumbs. Place 1-inch apart on a parchment lined baking sheet and gently press the center of each dough ball with your thumb.
Place 1-2 tsp. of cherry pie filling in the center of each cookie.
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges start to brown.
Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
