Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups 1:1 gluten-free flour blend
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 Tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3–4 Tablespoons ice cold water
  • 1/2 cup cherry pie filling
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 Tablespoon coarse sugar

Instructions

  • Make the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits of butter remaining.
  • Add Water: Sprinkle the ice water over the mixture, one tablespoon at a time, and mix with a fork until the dough just begins to clump together. You may not need all the water. Be careful not to overwork it.
  • Chill: Gently form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat and Roll: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  • Cut and Fill: Using a round cookie cutter (about 3 inches in diameter), cut out circles of dough. Place half of the circles on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon about a teaspoon of cherry pie filling into the center of each circle, leaving a small border.
  • Top and Seal: Place the remaining dough circles on top of the filled ones. Use a fork to crimp the edges firmly together to seal in the filling.
  • Bake: Brush the tops of each cookie with the beaten egg and sprinkle generously with coarse sugar. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
