What you need:

    • 1 pt. blueberries or 1 cup fruit preserves
    • 1 tbsp. each sugar and flour, if you use frozen blueberries
    • 3 eggs
    • 1 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup butter, room temp
    • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
    • 2 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup orange juice
    • 5 1/2 cups flour, plus 1/2 cup
    • 3/4 tbsp. baking powder

Directions:

    1. Beat butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, oil, vanilla, and orange juice. Beat until just combined.
    2. Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl.
    3. Add flour mixture to butter mixture, mix just until combined. DO NOT OVERMIX.
    4. Divide dough in half and wrap.
    5. Refrigerate for at least an hour; overnight is alright too.
    6. Preheat oven to 350* and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
    7. Roll out half the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. DO NOT OVERROLL.
    8. Using a circular glass or round cookie cutter that is 2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter, cut out as many circles as possible.
    9. Place them close together on prepared cookie sheets.
    10. Spoon 6 berries or 2 tsp. preserves on each circle.
    11. Pinch the corners to form a triangle.
    12. You'll want to do this quickly because if the dough warms up, it'll be difficult to work with. If it does get this way, place your dough in the refrigerator to firm up.
    13. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack.
