Roro's Pineapple Cookies image

My memories of Christmas always include my mom's pineapple cookies. The kids called her Roro, and we still make them every year to keep her memory alive. You can substitute your favorite flavor of preserves for the pineapple. -Donna Scarano, East Hanover, New Jersey

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in butter until well blended. In a small bowl, whisk egg with water. Gradually add to flour mixture; stir to form a soft dough., Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 2 portions. Roll each half into a 12x6-in. rectangle. Spread 1/4 cup preserves down the center of each rectangle. Starting at a long side, fold dough over filling; fold other side over top. Pinch to seal seams and edges. Place seam side down on parchment-lined baking sheets., Bake until lightly browned, 20-25 minutes. Cut each rectangle diagonally into 1-in. strips. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
