These are the easiest hamantashen I've ever made! They are a bit sweet, roll out easily and are consumed quickly! My kids don't want to give them to their friends! Traditional fillings are prune and poppy seed. You can use any canned pie filling, whole fruit jelly, chocolate chips, or any type filling your family likes! Be creative with these- we put mini chocolate chips in the dough!

Time 2h15m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ cups butter or margarine, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
6 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 (12 ounce) can poppyseed filling

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the orange juice and vanilla. Mix in the baking powder, then gradually stir in the flour until the dough forms a ball. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. I like to do mine overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into 3 inch circles using a cookie cutter or drinking glass. Place circles on the prepared cookie sheets. Spoon 1 teaspoon of filling onto the center of each circle. (Any more and it will ooze out) Pinch the sides of each circle to form a triangle, covering as much of the filling as possible. The cookies may be frozen on the cookie sheets if desired to help retain their shape while cooking.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until light golden brown. These are best undercooked slightly. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

My hamantashen filling was too runny. I think I added too much liquid.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my hamantashen dough was too sticky to work with. I ended up adding more flour, but it still wasn't quite right.

I'm not a big fan of hamantashen, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The dough was light and fluffy, and the filling was sweet and tangy. I'll definitely be making these again.

I've made hamantashen before, but this recipe was by far the best. The dough was flaky and the filling was moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
