Cover the dough ball and refrigerate overnight or at least 5 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Remove from the refrigerator and roll thin like pie crust.
Cut in 3 inch squares.
Put preserves in the center and fold each pastry from corner.
Use a fork (or your thumb) to seal the edges.
Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet (you could also use parchment paper) and bake 20 to 25 minutes in a 375\u00b0F degree oven.
Dust with powdered sugar, cool to touch, and enjoy. Keeps well in a sealed container. .
