Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease
cookie sheets.
Place all ingredients except
filling in a large mixer bowl and beat together. You may add a drop more
juice or flour, depending on consistency of dough. Roll dough into a
ball. Prepare dough and divide dough into four portions.
On a floured board, roll out
each portion to about 1/8-inch thick. Using a round biscuit or cookie
cutter, cut 3-inch circles. Place 1/2 to 2/3 teaspoon of desired filling
in the centre of each circle.
To shape into triangles, lift
up right and left sides, leaving the bottom down and bring both sides to
meet at the centre above the filling. Bring top flap down to the centre
to meet the two sides. Pinch edges together.
Place on greased cookie sheets
1 inch apart and bake at 350°F preheated oven for 20 minutes.
