Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Arrange 6 individual temp-tations® 4-oz. muffin cups in front of you.
Place 2 rounded tablespoons of the cherry pie filling in each muffin cup.
Add 1 rounded tablespoon of chocolate chips over cherry pie filling in each cup.
Place 1 square of cookie dough in the center of each cup. Wrap and refrigerate remaining cookie dough and cherry pie filling to make a second batch of cups, or simply bake the remaining cookies when you desire.
Bake all 6 cups directly on the center oven rack for 25-28 minutes, or until filling is bubbling up and the cookie topping is golden brown. Let cool 10 minutes before serving, as these will be very hot.

Tara’s Tidbit:
The cups may not seem full enough at first, but the filling will bubble up quite a lot in the oven, and adding any more cherry pie filling may result in it bubbling over.
