Hamantaschen

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 cup fruit preserves, any flavor

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Lightly grease cookie sheets.

Step 2: Combine eggs and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.  Stir in oil, orange juice, and vanilla.  Combine flour and baking powder; stir into batter to form a stiff dough, adding more flour if needed.

Step 3: Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface and roll out into a 1/2-inch thickness.  Cut into circles using a cookie cutter or the rim of a drinking glass; place 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.

Step 4: Spoon about 1 to 2 teaspoons of preserves into center of each cookie.  Pinch edges to form three corners.

Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.  Cool on the cookie sheets for 1 minute; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
