Required Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups butter or margarine, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 6 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 (12 ounce) can poppyseed filling
Preparing/Cooking:
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the orange juice and vanilla.
- Mix in the baking powder, then gradually stir in the flour until the dough forms a ball.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- I like to do mine overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Grease cookie sheets.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Cut into 3 inch circles using a cookie cutter or drinking glass.
- Place circles on the prepared cookie sheets.
- Spoon 1 teaspoon of filling onto the center of each circle.
- (Any more and it will ooze out) Pinch the sides of each circle to form a triangle, covering as much of the filling as possible.
- The cookies may be frozen on the cookie sheets if desired to help retain their shape while cooking.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until light golden brown.
- These are best undercooked slightly.
- Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
