Recipe

Step 1: Cream the cheese by hand or in processor.

Step 2: Mix all dry ingredients in a separate bowl and cut in shortening, adding water if necessary to make dough stick. Then knead in cheese and form a ball.

Step 3: Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.

Step 4: When dough is hard enough, roll the dough out with a rolling pin to 1/8″ thick then cut into rounds with cutter (Lynda’s cutter is 3″ diameter, but different sizes also work.)

Step 5: Lift rounds and put onto ungreased or parchment-lined cookie sheet.

Step 6: Add a good dab of crab apple jelly in the middle of each circle.

Step 7: Fold over circles to make “moons” and pinch edges to seal. Prick with a fork.

Step 8: Bake at 400ºF for 9 minutes.
