On lightly floured surface, roll dough out to 3 mm (1/8") thickness. Cut into 10 cm (4") circles with floured cookie cutter. In centre of each, place about 15 ml (1 tbsp) filling. Moisten edges with water. Fold dough over and press edges together with fork to seal. Place on baking sheet coated with cooking spray. 4. Bake at 200°C (400°F) 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
