Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 eggs with the oil, sugar, and vanilla, and beat until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture, and mix until combined.
  5. Knead the dough for about a minute before rolling it out. The dough will be a little sticky, so you may need to add a bit more flour.
  6. Roll the dough out on a floured surface until it is 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Cut out circles using a round cookie cutter, and place the circles onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. You can fit about 12 to 15 cookies on each sheet.
  8. Add a spoonful of the filling of your choice to the center of each circle.
  9. Fold the edges in to create a triangular shape, and pinch the corners.
  10. Brush the unbaked hamentashen with an egg wash, which can be made using 1 egg and a tablespoon of water, beaten with a fork to combine.
  11. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cookies just begin to turn golden brown.
