Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Cut the pastry into 3-inch squares.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract, if desired. Beat until smooth.
Place a tablespoon of cream cheese filling in the center of each pastry square, followed by a spoonful of cherry pie filling.
Fold the corners of the pastry squares over the filling and pinch to seal the edges.
Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
Cool for a few minutes and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

For best results, chill your mixing bowl and tools to maintain the pastry’s flaky texture.
