This year's new Filling is Peanut butter chips and chocolate chips (like Peanut butter cups). I also made poppy seed filling.
Both came out delicious!
Happy Purim to all who celebrate!

Ingredients

72 servings
  1. 4Eggs
  2. 1 cupoil
  3. 1 1/4 cupsugar
  4. 1 tspVanilla extract
  5. 1 tbspbaking powder
  6. 1/2 tspsalt
  7. 4 1/2 cupto 5 cups flour

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, beat eggs.

  2. 2

    Beat in oil, sugar, vanilla, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Add flour gradually; mix thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Knead until smooth enough To roll on floured board or pastry cloth.

  5. 5

    Roll dough out in 4 portions about 1/4-inch thick.

  6. 6

    Cut into 3 or 4 inch rounds with glass edge.

  7. 7

    Place desired filing by teaspoonfulls in each round.

  8. 8

    Punch together sides of circle to form triangle.

  9. 9

    Place on lightly greased cookie sheet.

  10. 10

    Bake about 20-25 minutes in a 375° degree oven or until done.

  11. 11

    I sometimes exchange the vanilla for chocolate extract, and replace 1 cup of the flour with 1 cup of cocoa powder for chocolate hamentaschen.

  12. 12

    While I usually use some traditional filings like poppy seeds, I always fill some with Hershey's filled kisses such as mint, cherry cordial or caramel filled kisses.

  13. 13

    My son just Gabe made an awesome filling idea. Pre-bake some of the cookies empty (or use pie crust beads to holds the shape). Cool completely and fill/top with ice cream!

  14. 14

    For chocolate chip dough, add 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
