Reality be instructed, I’ve made a whole bunch of cookie recipes in my lifetime, however I used to be in no way aware of hamantaschen. In different phrases, I took a leap of religion making a recipe of one of many few ethnic teams whose meals I not often make or for that matter know very a lot about.
This hamantaschen recipe did in no way 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 shouldn’t have all of the “bells and whistles” of my New Jersey kitchen. For that cause, I selected to not make a filling and went with store-bought apricot preserves which labored out very properly.
The usage of aluminum foil pans is absolute genius. Not solely does the foil preserve the form of the triangles throughout the baking course of, however 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 positive you will get 24 when you use a correct 3-inch cookie cutter.
