I gave this five stars because the finished product is fabulous and so tasty! I made this in two batches and I made the first batch as directed. It was a little messy and hard to work with, so here are some simple changes that worked great on the second batch. (The key is not to touch the dough too much after it is chilled.) After the dough is mixed, separate into two balls. Refrigerate for at least an hour. After dough is sufficiently chilled, remove one ball from the refrigerator, place between two sheets of wax paper, and roll till it's fairly thin. Peel one piece of paper off this layer. Draw out a grid pattern on this layer with a knife. Don't slice through the dough; just press enough to make lines. Place 1/2 tsp of preserves or nutella in each grid section. Set aside or place back in refrigerator. Remove second dough ball from refrigerator and roll between two pieces of wax paper to same thickness as the first layer. Take one piece of wax paper off the second layer, then GENTLY turn the layer over and place on top of the first layer. Remove the wax paper from the top layer. Cut the cookies between the filling plops, this time cutting all the way through. GENTLY turn the cookies over and place on the greased cookie sheet. Peel off the final piece of wax paper, separate cookies, and seal with fork tines. Sprinkle with sugar and bake as directed. Yummy!

Good cookies, even if Ravioli Dolci -I'm Italian- are quite different. Try filling them with Nutella mixed with ricotta cheese. Also, once you've rolled and refrigerated your dough, remove top wax paper and lay spoonfuls of filling in straight lines and set intervals on top of first -uncut- dough layer. Remove top wax paper from second dough layer and flip it on top of first one. THEN cut squares or circles. Don't forget the vent holes!

Oh man, this recipe is one of the hardest I have ever made! Rolling the dough was incredibly difficult, forming the cookies even more difficult... wow! I'm not sure this is worth the effort for what you get and that's saying something since I often make cakes that take 3+ hours to make.

Great cookies. A little time consuming, but well worth it.

My family loved these cookies. I used my own cherry almond preserves. These cookies are just perfect for the Christmas table. The dough is easier to work with when kept chilled. I made both round and square shapes. If the dough becomes too soft, simply put it in the fridge for a few minutes. I even put the squares (still on the waxed paper) back on a shelf in the fridge while I filled half a sheet.

Very good tasting cookie. Kind of shortbread like. The dough is difficult to work with, but I found that by rolling it out between the wax paper and then putting it in the freezer, the squares were much easier to work with. I filled mine with blackberry preserves and dusted them with powdered sugar. Others I filed with the cream cheese filling from the bakery and then drizzled those finished squares with chocolate. Very pretty and will be enjoyed by all. I will say that you only get about half of the amount the recipe is supposed to yield and I didn't make them huge. I'll make these again, only this time I know what I'm getting into. Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing this recipe.

The name is misleading, these are nothing like ravioli. The dough is a flaky pastry dough, not pasta-like. Not at all what I thought it would be. Regardless, these were pretty tasty and got great reviews. I suggest making them a little larger and using more preserves than suggested. I made mine into ~2" triangles and used about a teaspoon of preserves on each. Also drizzled them with a bit of melted chocolate.

I have to give this a 5 just because they are so good, it almost doesn't matter how long they took. I was a little frustrated with the dough but didn't put it in the fridge, I put it in the freezer instead, until just about hard. They were easy to cut and fold together. I took another reviewers idea and also used neutella. WONDERFUL. I'm glad I didn't use the pie filling, I fell like it would have just been an ordinary strudel type cookie. This is a keeper!

Very good! I made some with the cherry preserves and some with raspberry-- the raspberry is much better and far more popular!
