Hamantaschen Recipe

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup margarine, softened
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup poppy seed filling, or as needed
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
  2. Mix flour, sugar, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Cut in margarine with 2 knives or a pastry blender. Add eggs and vanilla extract; mix well until dough comes together and is smooth. If dough is sticky, add more flour.
  3. Roll out dough on floured work surface until it is about 1/4-inch thick. Press the rim of a glass into flour and then into the dough to cut out circles.
  4. Place 1/2 teaspoon filling into the center of each circle. Fold up the 3 sides into a triangle shape, pinching the sides together tightly to seal. Transfer cookies to baking sheets.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are golden brown, about 25 minutes.
