This time of year I always make "moms fold over cookies".........in reality I received this
recipe from a dear friend (Robin) many years ago ........this was a polish cookie made by her grandmother......

I have a few changes over the years by using my "everything dough".....I make this easy
dough and use "Solo" filling . I use Almond or Apricot. This one can makes so many cookies!

You can use this dough for cut out cookies; foldovers; or twist into a candy cane.....

These cookies do not last long.........and are inexpensive and easy to make.....
They are great for your family holidays or to give as a thank you gift to someone...

Directions.................. Dough recipe follows..........

**************Take dough and pull apart (about a handful).....
1. Flour your countertop and pat dough to about 1"
2. Cut out a small circle ( I use a drinking glass)
3. Place about 1/2 tsp on the middle of each circle ......
4. Fold over your circle to make have circle and take the tins of your fork and
place down on the ends to seal............
5. Bake 350 until light brown on bottom...........
6. Sprinkle with powered sugar when cool.........
