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!
