Wrap the dough in clear plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. *This dough should not be placed in the fridge over night it will become too hard and it won't be easy to work with. 5. Separate the dough into 3 equal portions. Place 2 of them back into the fridge. 6. Dust the surface with a little bit of flour and roll out the dough into a round circle and it should be about 1/4" in thickness. Using a dinner plate and a pizza cutter to trace and cut around the dinner plate. *My dinner plate is about 11" large. Cut the dough into 8 triangular pieces (like a pizza) 7. Drop a teaspoon of your favourite filling onto each triangle. Start rolling it up by the wider end. 8. Place them seam side down onto a baking tray that has been lined by parchment paper. 9. Place in a 350 degree preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. 10. The cookies are done when they have a nice golden colour around the edges. They should remain slightly pale and not too dark. 11.
