Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 c Butter
1 c Creamed cottage cheese
2 c Flour
1/4 ts Salt
1 c Fruit filling (see below)
-----pineapple filling------

2 tb Butter
1/8 ts Cinnamon

These are very simple, but you will find NO better
cookie anywhere! On the down side, they do require
advanced preparation (overnight is best). Included
are a couple of filling recipes, but a can of pre-made
will work too. (Apricot is best) When rolling out
dough, try to keep it as chilled as possible. To cream
the cottage cheese, it helps if you have a food
processor or blender, but a fork and a strong arm will
do in a pinch. Mix ingredients and chill at least 6
hours. Roll to 1/4" thickness. Cut into 2 or 3 inch
squares, and place filling or preserves in center of
square. Bring corners over filling and seal together.
Bake at 350 - 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and dust with
powdered sugar. Pineapple Filling: Combine
ingredients in sauce pan, cook stirring constantly
until thickened. Cool. Apricot Filling: Simmer
apricot 10 minutes. Add sugar and simmer 10 minutes
more. Remove from heat and add butter and cinnamon.
Cool.
