What other pie filling could you make this recipe with?

I love cherries. Especially in the summer time, there is no better fruit. I love when they pop in my mouth and how sweet and delicious they taste.

If you are looking for a simple and delicious cherry recipe, this is definitely one you need to try. If you don’t like cherries, or can’t eat them for some reason, don’t panic, you can easily substitute them for another pie filling.

Here are a few that we recommend:

• Strawberry Pie Filling
• Apple Pie Filling
• Raspberry Pie Filling
• Blueberry Pie Filling
• Rhubarb Pie Filling

Really any favorite pie filling would work for this recipe. You could also use fresh fruit if you are looking for a lower sugar, option.

Do these cookies freeze well?

These cookies do freeze well. However, we do not recommend stacking them. We also recommend placing them in an airtight container, or a large ziplock bag, with all the air sucked out of it.

These will be good in the freezer for about 2-4 weeks.

Cookies
