Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups butter or margarine, softened
-
1 cup white sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
6 tablespoons orange juice
-
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 (12 ounce) can poppyseed filling
Directions
-
Cream together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in orange juice and vanilla until well combined. Mix in baking powder, then gradually stir in flour until dough forms a ball. Cover and refrigerate dough for at least 2 hours.
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.
-
Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or drinking glass to cut dough into 3-inch circles, then place on the prepared baking sheets. Spoon 1 teaspoon poppyseed filling onto the center of each circle. Pinch the sides of each circle to form a triangle, covering as much of the filling as possible. The cookies may be chilled on the baking sheets before baking if desired to help retain their shape.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
Cook’s Note
I like to chill the dough overnight before rolling it out.
Do not use more than 1 tablespoon filling per cookie; any more will ooze out.
These cookies are best undercooked slightly.
