• 2. Cover 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).
• 3. In 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.
• 4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cookies on cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes. Remove them from the oven and serve.

If dough is too soft, refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes. Place balls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Use your finger or an instrument of similar size to make a well in the center of each cookie. Fill the hole with 1/2 teaspoon of preserves.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown on the bottom. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
