Make the crust: In a food processor combine the flour, salt and sugar and pulse to combine. Add
cubed butter and pulse several times. Then mix on low for about 15 seconds. The mixture
should be crumbly with no large pieces of butter. With the food processor on low, gradually add
the water and mix until a dough JUST comes together. It should not be very sticky or wet, but
hold together just enough to form a ball. Wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate for at least 15
Minutes.
Lightly flour your countertop and roll out the dough to about an eighth of an inch thick. Dust with flour anytime it gets too sticky. With a scalloped square cutter (or any 2-3” cutter you like) cut out as many “cookies” as you can, re-rolling out the scraps each time. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spoon a small amount of jam or jelly onto the middle of each cutout. Dab a very small amount of water onto the corner of each square, fold over the other corner and gently press to seal making a little open-ended pocket. Lightly brush the top of each cookie with the egg/milk mixture.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes or until they become slightly golden brown. Cool for at least 10 minutes.
In a small bowl or measuring cup mix the confectioner’s sugar, milk, and vanilla until you get a smooth glaze. Drizzle over the cookies and allow to set.
