Combine 3 tablespoons powdered sugar, cheese, and vanilla in a small bowl, stirring until well blended.

Place 1 phyllo sheet on a large cutting board or work surface (cover the remaining dough to keep from drying); lightly coat with cooking spray. Repeat layers 3 times. Gently press layers together. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut each phyllo stack lengthwise into 4 (9 x 3 1/2-inch) strips. Spoon 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture onto 1 short end of each rectangle. Spoon 1 level tablespoonful cherry mixture on top of cream cheese mixture, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold 1 corner of edge with 1-inch border over mixture, forming a triangle; continue folding back and forth into a triangle to end of strip. Repeat procedure with remaining phyllo, cooking spray, cream cheese, and cherry mixture.

Place triangles, seam sides down, on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray; lightly coat triangles with cooking spray.

Bake at 400 for 10 minutes or until golden. Cool on wire racks 5 minutes.
