Preheat the oven to 350F and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars.
Stir in the eggs and vanilla, then scrape down the edges of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated.
Add the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda and salt and stir until combined.
Scoop the dough with a large cookie scoop onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake one pan at a time for about 9-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are a golden brown.
Remove from the oven and press the bottom of a small glass or a measuring cup into the cookie to form an indentation.
Let the cookies cool completely.

Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until nice and smooth.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla; stir until combined.
Add 1 teaspoon of milk at a time until the frosting is a nice pipeable consistency.
Spoon the mixture into a piping bag or a resealable baggie.

Pipe the cream cheese filling onto the cookies, making a taller rim around the outer edge of the cookie's indentation.
Spoon some of the cherry pie filling into the center of each one.
Enjoy right away or refrigerate until ready to serve. (I actually like them best after a day in the fridge!!)
