Directions

  1. 1In a bowl, whisk together eggs, ½ cup neutral oil, ½ cup sugar, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. 2Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt to the bowl and mix until a dough forms.
  3. 3On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thick.
  4. 4Using a 3-inch cookie cutter (or the top of a glass), cut out circles of dough. Re-roll scraps to make more cookies.
  5. 5Place the dough circles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. 6Add 1 teaspoon of filling to the center of each circle.
  7. 7Pinch the edges of each circle together to form triangles. Gently re-pinch the edges to ensure the filling does not leak out during baking.
  8. 8Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.
  9. 9Transfer the baked hamantaschen to a wire rack to cool completely.
