• Date filling - Place the dates in a saucepan with orange, lemon, and zest. Cook on low until the dates are soft enough to be mashed with a fork (3 minutes). Remove from heat, add the chopped nuts, and stir well to combine. Let cool completely before you fill the cookies.
  12 oz Medjool dates, 1/4 cup Orange juice, 1 tbsp Lemon juice, 1 tsp Lemon zest, ¼ cup Nuts chopped
• Pecan pie filling - Add the chopped pecans and all other filling ingredients in a heavy-bottom saucepan. Heat on medium-low until the sugar melts and starts to thicken. Take it off the heat once all the syrup is absorbed. Take it off the heat. Let cool completely before filling in the cookies.
  1 cup Pecan, ¼ cup Brown sugar, 2 tbsp Maple syrup, 1 tbsp Unsalted butter, 1 tsp Vanilla extract, 1 tbsp Cornstarch, 2 tbsp Water, ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
• Apple pie filling - Wash, core, peel, and chop the apple into small pieces. Add all filling ingredients in a heavy-bottom saucepan. Heat on medium-low until the sugar melts and the apples release their juices. The cornstarch will start to thicken the juices. Continue to cook on medium until almost all the juices are evaporated. Take it off the heat. Let cool completely before filling in the cookies.
  2 large Apples , ¼ cup Sugar, 1 tbsp Lemon juice, 1 tbsp Cornstarch, ¼ tsp Salt, ½ tsp Ground cinnamon

  2 tsbp Powdered sugar, ½ cup Pistachio paste, ¼ cup Heavy cream, 1 tsp Vanilla, ½ cup Pistachios

  1 cup Halva , 2 tbsp Heavy cream

Dough

• Mix Dry Ingredients: In your stand mixer bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, orange zest, and salt.
  2½ cups All-purpose flour, ¼ tsp Salt, 1 Orange zest, ½ cup Powdered sugar
• Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, chopped butter to the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  1 cup Unsalted butter
• Add Liquids: Pour in the vanilla extract, then add the egg yolk and orange juice. Mix until just combined. Next, add the whole egg and continue mixing until the dough begins to come together.
  2 tsp Vanilla extract, 1 Egg yolk, 4 tbsp Orange juice, 1 large Egg
• Chill the Dough:Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
• Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll & Cut Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out circles using a round cutter (approximately 3–4 inches in diameter).
• Fill and Shape: Place about 1 tablespoon of the cooled filling in the center of each circle. Fold or pinch the edges up to form a triangle, gently pinching the corners together. (Leave the center exposed so the filling shows in the center.)
• Bake: Place the shaped cookies on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
