Jam Turnover Cookies image

This recipe is one of the best cookie recipes ever. I found this one in an Italian cookbook from the 1970's.

Categories     Cookies

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c all purpose flour
3/4 c butter, softened
1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
grated peel of 1 lemon (optional)
1/8 tsp salt
1 beaten egg
strawberry, apricot, peach or any other perserves that you like
confectioners sugar, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Place 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.
  • 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.
  • 5. Optional: after removing cookies from oven you can sprinkle them with confectioner sugar...I never do but the recipe offers this option.

These jam turnovers were a hit with my family! They were easy to make and turned out so flaky and delicious. I used strawberry jam, but I think any type of jam would be good.
