Title: Hamantaschen (Hamman's Ears)
Categories: Cookies, Desserts
Yield: 12 servings

4 lg Eggs
1 c Oil
1 1/4 c Sugar
1 ts Vanilla
3 ts Baking powder
pn Salt
5 1/2 c A-P flour

Mix all ingredients together except for the flour. Add
the flour gradually until it is all mixed in and the
batter resembles a smooth dough. If the dough sticks to
your palm, then add a bit more flour until it is
workable. The key to nice looking hamantaschen is to cut
out circles with a cookie cutter for each one. This
makes your edges symmetrical and perfect looking so that
each cookie comes out smooth and uniform in appearance.
However, even if you don't have a cutter, they still
come out nicely by just pulling off pieces of dough,
rolling them into balls, and flattening them down on
your working surface before filling them.

Set the oven @ 350ºF/180ºC.

Now comes the fun part. Traditionally, hamantaschen are
filled with poppy seeds...however, ideas abound that can
be both fun and colorful. There is strawberry jam,
apricot jam, blueberry pie filling, pareve caramel
filling, a mixture of white and black chocolate
chips...just to name a few! Fill them with the fillings
of your choice and simply pinch then together on one
side, and then the other. Let the kids join in as well;
even children as young as three can do this easily when
shown how.

Place them on lined cookie sheets, spaced only slightly
apart as they don't rise that much. Bake for 10-12
minutes, until they are slightly golden on top and done
on the bottom. Remove from cookie trays and leave on a
piece of baking paper on the counter. After they have
cooled down for 5 minutes, sprinkle them well with
confectionary sugar. Enjoy!

These freeze well, but will have to be sprinkled with
the confectionary sugar again after they have defrosted.
