How to Make Hamentashen Cookies for Purim

03/13/2016 by The Mama Maven

I absolutely love making Hamentashen for Purim. While I only make them once a year, I use the same basic recipe and I just vary the fillings.

Mix together dry ingredients in a mixer
Add butter and keep mixing
Add eggs, orange rind and orange juice.
Finish mixing dough and chill overnight.
The next day, set up the fillings you want to use.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Roll out dough — if dough is too cakey, add a little oil. If the dough is too wet, sprinkle some flour on it.
Put in fillings
Pinch sides up into a triangle shape.
Bake at 400 degrees for 14-15 minutes.

    I am going to make these with my kids this week. I am also going to try to make a gluten-free hamentashen too. Our favorite is chocolate and more chocolate
