Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.

  2. Mix flour, sugar, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Cut in margarine with 2 knives or a pastry blender. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mix well until dough comes together and is smooth. If dough is sticky, add more flour.

  3. Roll out dough on floured work surface until it is about 1/4-inch thick. Press the rim of a glass into flour and then into the dough to cut out circles.

  4. Place 1/2 teaspoon filling into the center of each circle. Fold up the 3 sides into a triangle shape, pinching the sides together tightly to seal. Transfer cookies to baking sheets.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are golden brown, about 25 minutes.
