    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 @ 350┬║F/180┬║C.

    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.
