Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • dash of salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 1/2 - 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • poppy seed or nut butter, for filling
  • 2/3 cup pareve margarine or butter

Instruction

  • Cream the shortening with sugar. Add egg and continue creaming until smooth.
  • Add the vanilla. Stir in the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt until a ball of dough is formed (a food processor is excellent for this).
  • Chill for 2-3 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Taking 1/4 of the dough, roll out on a lightly floured board to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Cut circles of dough with a drinking glass or round cookie-cutter. With your finger put water around the rim of the circle. Fill with 1 teaspoon poppy-seed or nut filling and fold into three-cornered cookies. (Press two sides together, and then fold the third side over and press the ends together.)
  • Bake on a well-greased cookie sheet 10-16 minutes, until the tops are golden.
