How To Make jam turnover cookies
-
1Place flour on pastry board. Make a well in the center. Put butter, sugar, 2 eggs, (grated lemon rind) and salt into the well. Work the flour mixture gently with your hands and form into a ball.
-
2Cover with clean towel and let rest for 1 hour. With rolling pin, roll dough to 1/4" thickness and cut out 3" circles (I use a drinking glass for this).
-
3In the center of each circle of dough, place 1/2 tsp. of preserves then fold dough in half and crimp with fork to close edges. Brush the dough with the beaten egg.
-
4Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cookies on cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes. Remove them from the oven and serve.
-
5Optional: after removing cookies from oven you can sprinkle them with confectioner sugar...I never do but the recipe offers this option.
