Extra Easy Sugar Cookie Cherry Pie Bars are so delicious. Using a sugar cookie mix for the crust and a can of pie filling. They can be whipped up in no time. Oh My! They are so good.
Sugar Cookie Cherry Pie Bars
The cherry bars are perfect. With a sugar cookie crust that is sweet and just a little crispy. Using a bagged sugar cookie mix for the crust and canned cherry topping makes it so easy. If you follow me you probably realize that I love using cherry pie filling to make quick desserts. Have you tried Cherry Poke Cake or my Easy Chocolate Cherry Brownies ? Both are delicious and easy to throw together. If you take any of these options to a pot luck or party. I'm sure you are going to be a hit.
I'm not going to lie, I pretty much ate the whole pan of these pie bars over the weekend. They were so good with the sweet crust and the filling being a little bit tart. I love that they are part cookie and part pie. Haha. Do you have a favorite pie? Cherry is definitely up there for me. Although during the summer, my favorite is probably Rootbeer Float Pie.
So grab a sugar cookie mix and a can of pie filling and you will be ready to roll.

I live in UK what is the english equivalent to sugar cook dough?

Can I freeze these for later use?
Hi, Iduna,I freeze everything. I think they will be fine as long as you keep them airtight so they dont get freezer burnt.
I hope you enjoy them
This is a quick and delicious dessert...I did put less mix on the bottom and more as topping.
so glad you enjoyed it

going to try with the refrigerated cookie dough (Pillsbury) and pie filling. Bet it'll work
Absolutely , and Im all about short cuts !
what other fruit pies can i make with the sugar cookie cherry pie recipes. I guess any other can pie filling would work.
Yes Im sure any fruit topping would work fine
I followed recipe and mine came out like a batter instead of dough. Couldn’t handle it to press in the pan or for the topping
Sindy, Im very sorry , Im not sure what happened, I hope you are able to give them another try .
Can I use almond extract in place of vanilla?
Hi Doreen,
Im sure that would come out great that way.
