Ingredients:
|
- ²/³ cup parve margarine or butter
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 egg
|
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2½-3 cups sifted unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Dash of Salt
|
Directions:
|
- 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 F.
- Taking ¼ of the dough, roll out on a lightly floured board to a
thickness of ¹\8 inch. Cut into 2-inch circles. With your finger
put water around the rim of the circle. Fill with 1 tsp 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 to 16 minutes, until the
tops are golden.
