• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs

• confectioner’s sugar
• your choice of jam, chocolate etc.

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.
• Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Using the confectioner’s sugar to prevent sticking, roll the dough out and cut it into 2.5 inch circles.
• Add a teaspoon of filling, pinch on three sides to form a triangle, and place on baking sheet.
• BAKE FOR 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Enjoy!
