Fact be advised, I’ve made tons of of cookie recipes in my lifetime, however I used to be under no circumstances accustomed to hamantaschen. In different phrases, I took a leap of religion making a recipe of one of many few ethnic teams whose meals I hardly ever make or for that matter know very a lot about.
This hamantaschen recipe did under no circumstances disappoint. The cookies turned out precisely as I imagined them with a young, flaky dough and a wonderfully complementary filling.
I’m away in our condominium in Florida for a number of weeks, so my kitchen and pantry right here shouldn’t have all of the “bells and whistles” of my New Jersey kitchen. For that purpose, I selected to not make a filling and went with store-bought apricot preserves which labored out very effectively.
Using aluminum foil pans is absolute genius. Not solely does the foil preserve the form of the triangles throughout the baking course of, nevertheless it additionally makes it super-easy to switch the cookies from the baking sheet to the cooling rack.
I used a barely bigger cutter (truly it was the highest of a espresso cup), so my yield was solely 18 cookies, however I’m fairly positive you may get 24 for those who use a correct 3-inch cookie cutter.
