Combine ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil.

Lower heat and simmer making sure sugar dissolves and mixture begins to thickens.

To make cookies;

Roll out dough and cut out circles.

Put 1 tsp of filling on to center of circle.

Cover with second circle.

Press edge with fork to seal.

{alternative method - use one circle of dough and fold in half to seal}

Bake at 350 degrees for 12 + minutes or until around edges.

I have no instructions for venting the tops of cookies.
