Watch now! | Hamantaschen cookies made easy. You can watch me and Bosco in action, or just read the recipe for tender, delicate Hamantaschen for Purim, or just because you like buttery cookies filled with jam. Or Nutella. Or Peanut Butter and Jelly. Or chocolate or...
I haven't tried to roll out yet, but the dough seems very non-cohesive—I keep feeling like I've left something out (checked the recipe, and I haven't left anything out). Will report back when I roll out.
Thanks for your note. If you find the dough is not behaving sprinkle a tablespoon -- possibly two -- of cold water over it the dough and work it in. Then let the dough rest for another hour to let the gluten relax.
Thanks! I didn't see this earlier, so I ended up going rogue by putting in another egg yolk and a half stick of butter and re-chilling. They actually came out great, but will try the water next time!
I look forward to trying this recipe—I prefer the tender dough. My offspring does not like jam (oh the horror) so I'm going to try and find a cheesecake filling for them, but will make a few jammy ones for myself.
My favorite fillings for Hamantaschen are apricot, strawberry and raspberry. 👍. Least fave would be dried plums. Liked the thought of making soft pastry cookies. Thanks for the walk through!
