Foldover Cookies

I'm not a total fan of these, simply because i'm not a huge fan of shortbready cookies or cookies i haven't been eating every Christmas for the past 28 years. They're good though, and definitely taste great with my homemade peach/habanero jam! I had to sub 1/4 cup olive oil for part of the butter and they were super hard to roll out of fold without busting and cracking.

Recipe from Good Housekeeping? (emailed from my Mama)
2 cups flour3/4 cup butter or margarine2 egg yolks2 tblspns sugarpreserves1 egg beaten w/tblsp of milkfinely chopped nutsPut flour in bowl, make a holethinly slice butter, put with egg yolks and sugar in holework with fingers until creamygradually blend in floursprinkle with 2 tblsp cold water, make a ball and flattenwrap and chill wellheat oven to 325cut dough in half, leave half in fridgeroll on floured surface to 1/8 inch, cut in 2 1/2 " roundsrepeat with other halfplace rounds on sheet, put 1/2 tsp jelly, fold in half and pinch edgesbrush tops with egg and sprinkle with nutsbake 18 - 20 minutes till golden brown

And nevermind about these not being tasty enough for me to eat them.... I've been eating at least 3 a night. (Why oh why am i dabbling in baking bread during cookie baking season? My waistline can compete with fresh bread OR cookies, not both in the same day!)
