Working Mom's Hamentashen

SUBMITTED BY: JGIRLSCOUT  PHOTO BY: StunnaShades 

"This is a great recipe to use when you're short on time but don't want to deprive your family of that famous Jewish fruit-filled cookie around Purim time. Versions of this recipe have circulated around the Colorado Springs Jewish community for years. At a Purim carnival one year, I asked for someone's copy of the recipe. "

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package moist yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup fruit preserves, any flavor

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix and flour. Stir in the eggs and water to form a stiff dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 3 inch round circles and place 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Place a teaspoon of filling into the center of each cookie and pinch the sides to form three corners. Moisten with water if necessary.
  3. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool for 1 minute on the cookie sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
