1 package sugar cookie dough refrigerated, already made, use a roll or break apart block with 24 pieces
1 spray non stick spray
1 can pie filling optional if you want this to fill the inside

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray well into each hole. Combine two pieces of cookie dough into one larger ball. Place one cookie dough ball in each cup of the muffin pan. (for mini muffin pan use 1 piece per hole.
Bake dough in pan for 10 minutes for regular pan or 5 minutes for mini muffin pan, then remove the pan from the oven. The cookies will still be soft. Use the back of a spoon to press down the center of the cookie to form a cup. (or bottom of a shot glass works even better)
If you want to fill with pie filling cut larger pieces, like apple slices, into small pieces. Fill each cookie cup with filling 3/4 of way full and return the pan to the oven to bake for an additional 10 minutes (5 minutes for mini pan) or until the edges of the top of the cookie cups are golden brown.
** If you are adding a filling that shouldn't be baked, return to oven without a filling to finish baking until light golden brown on edges and bottom, about 6 minutes longer for regular or 4 minutes longer for mini pan.
Allow the cookies to cool in the pan for around 10 minutes, then use a spoon to loosen from the sides and carefully transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
