Ingredients

1 Stick margerine or butter (softened)

1 cups sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla

2 tsp baking powder

2 cups wheat flour OR 1 cup white all-purpose flour and 1 cup wheat. (All white works well too.)

FILLING apricot preserves. You can use any fruit butters, jam, or pie fillings. Traditional fillings are poppy seed and prune.

NOTE: This is 1/2 of the recipe as shown in the book and made two dozen cookies.

Directions

1. Cut butter into sugar. Blend thoroughly. Add egg and blend thoroughly. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, blending thoroughly between each.
2. Put the batter in the refrigerator overnight or at least a few hours.
3. Roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness and then cut circles with a cookie cutter or use a drinking glass. (From Beth Moore: Make them at least 3 inches in diameter so you have room to fill and fold them over!)
4. Put a tablespoon of filling in the middle of each circle. Fold up the sides to make a triangle, overlapping the sides as much as possible so only a little filling shows through the middle.
5. Bake at 375 for about 10-15 minutes, until golden brown.
