  • 3. In the center of each circle of dough, place 1/2 tsp. of preserves then fold dough in half and crimp with fork to close edges. Brush the dough with the beaten egg.
  • 4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cookies on cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes. Remove them from the oven and serve.
