- Add half the dough to a large piece of plastic wrap, flatten into a roughly rectangular disk and ensure the plastic wrap completely covers the dough. Repeat with the other half, and place both disks into the fridge for at least two hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper.
- Lightly flour a surface and roll dough into a rectangle a quarter inch thick. Add half the cherry preserves and gently smooth across all but the top half inch of the long edge. Roll the rectangle into a fairly tight log.1 cup cherry preserves
- Use a serrated knife to cut half inch sections and place each cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes then remove to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
- Repeat for the remaining dough in the log and the second disk until all cookies are baked off.
- Store in a tightly sealed container for 3-5 days on the counter, or freeze for up to two months.

Notes
- These cookies are just as delightful with other flavors like raspberry, apricot, mango, blueberry, peach, or even a tropical mix! Skip the grape jelly-type fillings, but cherry pie filling is just the beginning! The possibilities are endless, just like a "real" pie.
