4 lg Eggs
1/2 c Oil
1 1/2 c Sugar
1 md Orange rind
4 c Flour
2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Vanilla
1/4 ts Salt
Beat eggs, add sugar gradually. Sift flour with baking powder and salt, and add to egg mixture alternately with oil. Add orange rind last. Form into soft dough. Form into a ball and wrap in floured waxed paper. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Break off a piece large enough to roll into a ball about the size of a golf ball. Roll and pat it down and into a circle about 2 – 3 inches in diameter, on top of a floured piece of waxed paper (you may want to flour your hands a little bit, too). Fill with your favorite filling. Roll up the sides and pinch corners together in the shape of a triangle. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or convection bake at 325 for 15-20 minutes, or until LIGHTLY browned. Cool on racks. Suggested fillings: Chocolate chips, M&M’s, chocolate kisses, cherry pie filling, apricot jam and marzipan. —–
