Separate the perogie dough into two balls. Roll out one piece at a time on a lightly floured surface until it is thin enough to work with but not too thin so that it tears. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter perogie cutter or a glass. Brush a little water around the edges of the circles and spoon some filling into the center. Fold the circles over into half-circles and press to seal the edges. Place perogies on a cookie sheet and freeze. Once frozen transfer to freezer storage bags or containers.
