Shape into 24 one-inch (2.5 cm) balls; place each ball into ungreased, small muffin cups (1-3/4 inches/4.5 cm in diameter). Press dough evenly against bottom and sides of each cup.

Heat oven to 350°F (180°C). Combine egg, sugar, melted butter, lemon juice and vanilla in small bowl; stir until smooth. Add chopped peanut butter chips. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full with mixture.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until filling is set and lightly browned. Cool completely; remove from pan to wire rack. Garnish with candied cherries, if desired.
