Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon Wonderful Seedless Lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon Wonderful Seedless Lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Apricot or raspberry jam or prepared filling of your choice

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar on medium speed until it’s light and fluffy, about two minutes. Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the egg; mix until it’s well combined. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla; continue to mix.
  3. Place the dough onto a floured surface; form into a ½"-thick disk. Wrap in plastic and chill for 1 hour.
  4. To assemble the hamantaschen: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it’s roughly ¼" thick.
  5. Using a round cookie cutter, cut the dough into circles. Add a teaspoon of jam or filling in the center. Fold the dough in from three sides and firmly crimp the corners. Twist the corners to keep them tightly closed. Add to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
