• Poppy seed filling - In a saucepan over medium heat, combine all filling ingredients - milk, poppy seeds, raisins, honey, and butter. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool before filling cookies.
  1/2 cup Poppy seeds, 1/2 cup Milk, 1 tbsp Butter, 2 tbsp Honey, 4 oz Raisins
• Prune filling - Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until it's almost a paste.
  4 oz Prunes, 1/2 cup Sugar, 4 oz Raisins, 1 tbsp Lemon juice, 1 tbsp Lemon zest
• Chocolate filling - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate, heavy cream, and butter until smooth. Chill until you have a peanut butter consistency before using it as filling.
  7 oz Chocolate, 2 tbsp Whipping cream, 1 tbsp Butter

Making the Dough

• Dry ingredients - In a bowl, sift and combine together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
  3 1/4 cup All-purpose flour, 2 tbsp Cornstarch, 1 tsp Baking powder, 1/4 tsp Salt
• Wet ingredients - In the stand mixer bowl with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add the egg and egg yolk one at a time. Followed by the vanilla extract and orange extract
  6 oz Butter , 1 cup White sugar, 1 Egg, 1 Egg yolk, 2 tsp Vanilla extract, 4 tbsp Orange juice
• Chill - Next, add the flour mixture and orange juice. Combine well into a soft dough. Divide the dough into two discs. Wrap well in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to roll.
• 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 teaspoon 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.
