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
