"Better make plenty - these disappear fast. The unbaked dough may be frozen. The baked cookies may also be frozen."

- Roll chilled dough thin. Cut with 3 or 4 inch round cookie cutter. Place small spoonful of jam in center of each round, moisten edges with water.
- Fold round over and press edges together. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 15 to 20 minutes. Immediately roll in sugar mixed with cinnamon (traditional) OR in confectioners' sugar if preferred.

I did not like this dough. It came out way too flaky for my taste. It's better for pastry empanadas, than savory ones.

These were very good! You should double or even triple the recipe though. Also to add a little more flavor to the pastry, when you roll it out on flour add a little powdered sugar to the flour t...
