  • 3/4 cup sugar

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease cookie sheets.
  • Cream butter and sugar.
  • Add egg, vanilla and beat again until fluffy.
  • Add the 2 cups flour, baking powder and salt and mix until the dough holds together.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl and gently knead in the extra 1/4 cup flour. If using chocolate chips, add them here as well.
  • Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes.
  • Cut the dough into 4 equal parts, refrigerating dough that’s not being used. Dough will be sticky.  Sprinkle confectioner’s sugar on parchment paper, and then place dough on top to roll out. If it’s super sticky, add another piece of parchment paper on top, and roll the dough over the paper. Roll dough relatively thick, as this will make it easier to shape. Cut it into 2.5 inch circles, using a drinking glass or cookie cutter.
  • Add a teaspoon of filling, pinch on three sides to form a triangle, and place on baking sheet. (Hint: pinch hard, as this will help to avoid flat cookies with jam dripping down the sides!)
  •  Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
