Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease cookie sheets.
- Cream butter or margarine and sugar at medium speed with electric mixer. Beat in 2 eggs, vanilla and juice.
- Combine baking powder and salt with flour and gradually add to creamed mixture. Dough will be sticky.
- Divide dough into four balls and cover with plastic wrap. Chill four hours.
- Roll each ball on lightly floured surface to quarter-inch thickness. Cut three-inch circles with cookie cutter.
- Beat remaining egg with one teaspoon water. Brush rim of circle with egg wash and place one teaspoon of filling in center.
