Mix well with hands. Form into a ball and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

Divide dough into 16 small balls. Roll out each ball to a 3.5 inch diameter circle (you will need extra flour for hands and board,since the dough is sticky).

Place in the center of each circle 1 (heaping) tsp. of the filling. Form triangles by folding over edges of circle and pinch to create three corners, leaving a small amount of

the filling in the center uncovered.

Bake on a sprayed cookie sheet, at 375F, 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
