this is my friend's mom's recipe:
dough:
1/2 cup = 1 stick butter or margarine at room temperature
1 c sugar
1 egg
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp orange juice
1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
baking:
cream butter with sugar
add egg and stir
mix separately flour and baking powder
add half flour mixture to sugar-egg mix plus
orange juice and vanilla and mush together
add rest of flour mix and repeat.
form two balls of dough and chill several hours or
overnight (good up to a week)
my mother says she gets 12 to a cookie sheet ... but her recipe
was also supposed to make twice what ours made, so whatever.
also an option: sprinkle tops with cinnamon-sugar mix
bake at 350 fahrenheit for fifteen minutes or until delicately brown
at corners.
oh, and filling: i say use jam.
you have to go with prune filling. or poppyseed. the rest are just wrong.
