Remove top sheet of wax paper and reserve. Cut dough in 2 1/2-inch squares. Carefully lift wax paper and gently flip cookie squares, one at a time, onto hand or small spatula and peel off paper. Transfer to ungreased cookie sheets, placing 2 inches apart. Re-roll any scraps between same two pices of wax paper until all dough is used. Repeat with remaining dough.
Cut to opposite corners of each square diagonally (about 1 inch) toward center, do not cut through center. Make indentation with thumb in center of square. Spoon 1 teaspoon preserves or prune filling into indentation. Lift other two corners of dough and fold inward to center to make pinwheel.
