The sweet flavoring from the orange juice and orange zest pairs up perfectly with a fruit preserves – try apricot or strawberry. 4 c flour 4 eggs 3/4 cup sugar 1 c butter or margarine, softened 1 T orange juice 2 t baking powder 1 t vanilla extract 1 t finely chopped orange zest Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease cookie sheets with vegetable spray and set aside. Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat on high. Add more juice or flour, as necessary, to achieve the right consistency. Roll dough into a ball and divide into four parts. Roll out each part to about 1/8-inch thickness. Using a round cookie cutter or the open end of a glass, cut out 3-inch circles. Put 1/2 a teaspoon in the center of the circle and then fold the right and left sides into the middle, leaving a bit of space for the filling to poke through. Bring up the bottom side and pinch the edges together. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
