Ingredients
-
1/2 Cup Shortening
1 Cup Sugar
2 Large Eggs
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
Fruit [Raisin, Date, Fig, or Prune] Filling found in my recipe list
Milk or Light Cream
Directions
Mix thoroughly shortening, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Blend in flour, salt, and soda. Cover; chill for 1 hour. Prepare filling.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Roll dough 1/16" thick on lightly floured cloth-covered board. Cut into 3 1/2 inch circles using cookie or biscuit cutter. Spoon 1 teaspoon of filling on half of each circle. Fold dough over filling; press edges together [I use a dumpling mold for easier crimping].
Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Brush with milk; spring with sugar. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until very light brown. Immediately remove from baking sheet.
*if using self-rising flour, omit salt and baking soda. If using quick-mixing flour, mix 1 tablespoon milk into shortening mixture.
Serving Size: Approximately 3 1/2 dozen cookies
