APRICOT EMPANADAS- EASY
These little cookies are so good! You can use any flavor jam in place of apricot to customize these for your family's tastes. Be sure to allow the dough to chill overnight so it's easy to handle.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in flour and lemon zest. Shape dough into a ball. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Remove dough from the fridge 1 hour before rolling out.
- On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 12x18. Cut the dough into 6 strips (longways) and 4 cuts across so that you end up with 24 squares about 3x3 inches. Brush the edges of all the little squares with water. Spoon about a teaspoon of jam into the center of each one, fold pastry over filling forming little triangles. Seal the edges well with a fork. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.
- Place on greased baking sheets (I use parchment paper instead) and bake 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
- Refrigerate leftovers (we never have leftovers).

Steps:
- Place the dried apricots and 1 1/2 cups of water into a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until tender. Remove from heat, and allow to cool slightly.
- In the container of a blender or large food processor, combine the apricots with any remaining water, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Cover, and puree until smooth. Set aside.
- Pour 1 cup of water into a large bowl, and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let stand for about 5 minutes to dissolve the yeast. Mix in the shortening and salt. Gradually mix in the flour using a sturdy spoon until the dough is stiff enough to knead on a floured surface. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Do not set aside the dough to rise.
- Roll out the dough to 1/4 to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into circles with a large biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter. Spoon about a tablespoon of the filling in the center of the circles, and fold over. Seal the edges by pressing with your fingers.
- Heat about 1 inch of oil in a deep heavy skillet over medium-high heat, or to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Fry the pastries in the hot oil, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
