Fact be instructed, I’ve made a whole lot of cookie recipes in my lifetime, however I used to be by no means conversant in 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 by no means disappoint. The cookies turned out precisely as I imagined them with a young, flaky dough and a superbly complementary filling.
I’m away in our condominium in Florida for a number of weeks, so my kitchen and pantry right here wouldn’t have all of the “bells and whistles” of my New Jersey kitchen. For that motive, I selected to not make a filling and went with store-bought apricot preserves which labored out very nicely.
Using aluminum foil pans is absolute genius. Not solely does the foil keep the form of the triangles through 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 (really it was the highest of a espresso cup), so my yield was solely 18 cookies, however I’m fairly certain you will get 24 when you use a correct 3-inch cookie cutter.
