For a richer dough, consider chilling it for 30 minutes before rolling. This will make it easier to handle. If prune filling isn't your preference, experiment with other fillings such as apricot jam, raspberry preserves, or even a chocolate-hazelnut spread. Ensure the prune filling is adequately cooled before filling the cookies to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
15 mins
Craft the Prune Filling: In a small saucepan, unite honey, lemon juice, and prunes. Add water to cover. Ignite the mixture, bringing it to a boil, then temper the heat to a gentle simmer. Allow the prunes to soften, approximately 10 minutes. Withdraw from the heat and grant the filling a moment to cool.
02
Step
5 mins
Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Adorn 3 baking sheets with the grace of parchment paper.
03
Step
2 mins
The Dry Medley: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
04
Step
8 mins
Creaming the Base: In a separate bowl, beat sugar, butter, and shortening together with a wooden spoon until the mixture is creamy. Introduce the eggs, stirring until smooth. Infuse the orange juice and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the flour mixture, uniting all until a dough embraces its form. Divide the dough into 3 kindred balls.
05
Step
5 mins
Rolling and Cutting: On a floured work surface, roll out 1 ball of dough to a delicate 1/4-inch thickness, embracing a piece of parchment paper under the rolling pin to prevent any clinging. Employ the rim of a glass to cut the dough into perfect circles.
06
Step
10 mins
Filling and Forming: Place 1/2 teaspoon of the prune filling in the heart of each circle of dough. Pinch the edges together, securing the filling within and shaping triangular pockets. Transfer these nascent cookies to the prepared baking sheet. Echo this rolling, cutting, and filling with the remaining balls of dough.

Step
15 mins
Baking to Golden Perfection: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven until they attain a lightly golden hue, approximately 18 minutes.
