Hamantaschen
- 1 cup honey
- ½ cup shortening
- 4 eggs
- 4 cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- Apricot and Prune Butter*
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the honey and shortening until smooth.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time.
- Then with the mixer on low speed, add in the dry ingredients and mix until the dough comes together. Do not mix too much or the cookies will be tough.
- Wrap the dough and chill for at least an hour.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll the dough out thin.
- Using a round drinking glass, or round cookie cutter (2½ to 3 inches in diameter), cut out the cookies.
- Using a spoon or pastry bag fitted with a plain tip, fill the cookies with the jam filling.
- Pinch 3 corners together and bake for 8-10 minutes until light brown.
- Allow to cool-the filling will be extremely hot! Enjoy!
