Hamantashen II

This was my first time making Hamantaschen. This recipe was very simple and easy to follow. My kids helped along. We tried making them a little thinner, that seemed to work best. we made some with a larger circle base because my kids liked the ratio of cookie to filling to be more equal. We originally filled with 1/4 tsp filling. But felt it was way too much cookie with every bite and not enough filling with the cookie. So we made the circle base larger, thinner and added more filling. This seemed to work best. We used blueberry pie filling and Nutella fillings. This recipe yields a lot of dough which is great. The dough yielded enough to make some mishloach manot. I also cooked on 375 degree F oven since we live higher elevation for 12 minutes was perfection.

These were great. I took the advice of other reviewers and chilled the dough overnight and rolled it very thin (maybe 1/8 inch thick or so). I filled them with Perfect Lemon Curd from this site. Lemon hamantashen is my husband's favorite from childhood and we can't find them locally. He says the flavor of the dough is very similar to what he remembers. Thank you for sharing!

I was looking for a traditional hamentashen recipe and this was pretty close. the dough worked very well, and tasted very good . I did refrigerate it overnight which I think really helps , I dont think a few hours would do the trick. I filled mine with mini chocolate chips and strawberry jam . they were great! will make these again next year!

excellent recipe! After an unsuccessful try to make hamantashen that hold their triangular shape, I found this recipe, and it worked perfectly. I only baked the cookies for 13-15 minutes; it seemed long enough. Also, I used more traditional jelly fillings instead of the apple pie filling.
