8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 Tablespoon milk

Glaze:
1 1 /2 cups powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons milk

Directions
Cookies:
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.

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.  Roll out dough 1/4″ 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 til smooth.  Put glaze in a sandwich baggie with the corner snipped off.  Pipe the glaze onto the top of each cookie.
Makes 3 to 4 dozen cookies
