3. Cover and chill 30 minutes.

5. Roll out half the dough (keeping other half in refrigerator) until dough is 1/8th inch thick. Cut dough into 2 inch squares. Place 1/2 teaspoon filling on each square, placing diagonally on dough. Moisten the 2 opposite corners slightly with water; fold over filling and press edges together with your fingers.
6. Bake on cookie sheet in preheated 400F oven for 12 minutes or until edges are light brown. When cool, sprinkle with sifted confectioner's sugar. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Yield: About 8 dozen squares.
