Easy Hamantaschen

Servings:

Hamantaschen are buttery, orange-scented filled cookies that are a favorite treat for the Purim holiday! It has always worked better for me if I cover the dough and refrigerate it overnight.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.
  2. 2 Combine eggs and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Stir in oil, orange juice, and vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder; stir into batter to form a stiff dough, adding more flour if needed.
  3. 3 Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out into a 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter or the rim of a drinking glass; place 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
  4. 4 Spoon about 1 to 2 teaspoons of preserves into center of each cookie. Pinch edges to form three corners.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheets for 1 minute; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
