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!
