    Title: Traditional Hamantaschen
    Categories: Cookies, Snackes, Fruits, Citrus
    Yield: 35 Servings

    4 lg Eggs
    1 c Sugar
    1/2 c Oil
    2 tb Lemon juice
    1 1/2 ts Lemon zest
    1 ts Pure vanilla extract
    5 c A-P flour; more for dusting
    2 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts Kosher salt
    1 1/2 c (1 1/2 lb.) filling; such as
    - apple or prune butter,
    - strawberry or apricot
    - preserves

    Set oven to @ 350ºF/175ºC and line 4 cookie sheets with
    parchment paper.

    In a large bowl, add the eggs and sugar and whisk until
    light and foamy. Add the oil, lemon juice and zest, and
    vanilla extract, and stir to combine. Add the flour,
    baking powder, and salt, and use a wooden spoon or stiff
    rubber spatula to stir well until a stiff, homogenous
    dough forms.

    Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough
    out onto the surface. Press it into a cohesive mass,
    then use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to an even
    1/4" thick sheet. Use a 3 1/4" round cookie cutter or
    the rim of a glass to punch circles in the dough. Pull
    the scraps away from the circles and set aside to be
    rerolled once. Using a tablespoon or a small scoop,
    portion 1 heaping tablespoon of filling into the center
    of each circle. Fold in the dough from three sides and
    press the edges together to seal, leaving a small
    opening over the filling. When all of the cookies are
    shaped, place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking
    sheets.

    Bake the cookies until lightly browned on the bottom and
    just set throughout, 18-22 minutes.

    Remove and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for
    one minute, then transfer to wire racks to cool
    completely.
