Delicious soft cookie filled with delectable fillings.

Ingredients

Scale

For the dough:

  • 1 and1/2 sticks sweet unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 and1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Fillings: Raspberry Jam, Apricot Jam, Prune puree, Nutella, Chocolate spread

Instructions

  1. Using an electric mixer on low-medium speed, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and beat well. 
  2. Mix in the orange juice and vanilla and continue to blend on low-medium speed.
  3. Then add in flour, baking soda, and salt. Blend well so dough is uniform.
  4. Wrap dough in wax paper and place in a plastic bag to chill for at least an hour. It can stay in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
  5. When ready to roll out cookies, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  6. On a floured surface, roll out sections of dough to approximately 1/8” thick. Use a circular cookie cutter (or a large glass) to cut out circles, approximately 3” in diameter.
  7. Place about 1-2 tsp of filling in the center of circle. Avoid too much filling or it will leak onto the cookie sheet while baking. Pinch or fold the sides to make a triangle. Be sure seams are closed tightly so they do not open when baked.
  8. Bake on UNgreased cookie sheet approximately 10 minutes. Cool before serving.
