VEGAN HAMANTASCHEN
Making vegan hamantaschen, the traditional Purim cookies, isn't much of a stretch - simply replace dairy butter with vegan butter. The yield varies according to the size of your cookie cutter.

Steps:
- Combine the flour with the sugar, baking power, and salt in a mixing bowl and stir to combine completely.
- Add the vegan butter, divided up into bits, along with the applesauce and vanilla. Work together with a pastry blender or large fork; or, truth be told, it's easier to work together with clean hands. If the dough isn't holding together, add a little more vegan butter or apple sauce until it does.
- Once the dough holds together smoothly, wrap it in plastic wrap or a produce bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes; 15 minutes in the freezer works, too.
- When ready to make the cookies, preheat the oven to 350º F.
- Divide the dough in half and roll out evenly on a well floured board to about a 1/8-inch thickness. With a cookie cutter or the open end of a glass, cut into approximately 2 1/2- to 3-inch circles. Repeat with the remaining dough; combine scraps of dough together until it's all used up.
- Put a teaspoon of filling or fillings of choice in the center of each circle of dough, then pinch the dough into a triangle with the filling securely inside, yet open to view (see photos above the recipe box). Pinch closed a bit more than you think you'll need to, as the cookies open up a bit as they baked.
- Arrange the cookies on a lightly oiled or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden. Don't overbake! Allow to cool thoroughly on racks or plates before serving.
HAMANTASCHEN
When chef Michael Solomonov and his business partner Steve Cook develop recipes for their Philadelphia restaurants (including Zahav, Abe Fisher and K'Far), they often start by talking about their mothers. "Someone will say, 'Oh wait, my mom makes it like this. Let me get her recipe,' " Michael says. Steve's mom, Susan, provided the dough recipe for these hamantaschen - traditional triangular jam-filled cookies that show up on their menus for the Jewish holiday of Purim. It's a pretty classic recipe, with a few exceptions: Susan adds brown sugar and maple extract to her version. The resulting cookie is extra chewy, and perfectly sweet. -Francesca Cocchi for Food Network Magazine

Steps:
- Make the dough: Beat the butter, both sugars, the egg, milk, vanilla and maple extract (if using) with a mixer on medium-high speed. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and beat until fully incorporated.
- Divide the dough into thirds and wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Form the hamantaschen: Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375˚ F. Roll out one piece of dough on a floured surface until 1/8 inch thick. Use the rim of a juice glass to cut out 3-inch circles. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Spoon a teaspoon of the apricot preserves into the center of each circle of dough.
- Fold in the edges of the dough to form a triangle, pinching at the corners to keep the filling in but leaving the center filling slightly exposed.
- Bake the hamantaschen: Arrange the hamantaschen on 2 baking sheets (use nonstick pans or line the pans with parchment paper).
- Bake, rotating and switching the pans halfway through, until the hamantaschen are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Let cool a few minutes on the baking sheets, then remove to a wire rack and let cool completely.
NO-MARGARINE, WHOLE WHEAT HAMANTASHEN
We cut out the margarine a few years back, but needed a dairy-free hamantashen recipe. This one works like a charm--dough that's easily rolled, easily folded, and doesn't unfold during baking. Fill with whatever you fancy: traditional poppyseed (mohn) filling, pie fillings (although some kinds will explode), chocolate spread, halva spread, peanut butter... For chocolate dough, replace 1/2 c of whole wheat flour with 1 c cocoa powder.

Steps:
- Beat sugar and oil together.
- Add eggs and juice until fully blended.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Add dries to wets and combine until smooth.
- If the dough is too sticky, slowly add another half cup of flour.
- The hamantashen must be rolled out on a surface dusted with flour. The first time they are rolled out, they will be a bit sticky, so dust the rolling pin with flour. By the second and third times, they will be easier to work with, and if you need more than that--they could get dry. So use your judgement regarding the amount of flour for dusting, and keep the dough covered when it's not being worked.
- Roll the dough to a thickness of about 3 mm. Cut the hamantashen with an empty and clean metal can. If you don't have one, a cup can be used, but make sure to apply enough force in order to cut the dough.
- Place 1 tsp of pie filling in the center of each circle, then fold as follows: roll the right side over until it covers about 1/3 of the filling, then roll the left side over until it partly overlaps the right side and 1/3 of the filling, creating a point at the top. Finally, fold the bottom up over both of these until you are left with a triangle cookie and some of the filling showing in the middle.
- Make sure the overlapping corners stick together, so they don't unfold during baking. This dough is sticky enough that they should stay folded. if you make sure they are touching.
- Bake for about 15 minutes on medium (175 degrees Celsius) heat, or until edges have browned slightly and the dough is no longer shiny.
- Let the hamantashen cool for about 1 minute in the pan before trying to move them.

EASY HAMANTASCHEN
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until lightly and fluffy. Stir in the oil, vanilla and orange juice. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the batter to form a stiff dough. If dough is not stiff enough to roll out, stir in more flour. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter or the rim or a drinking glass. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of preserves into the center of each one. Pinch the edges to form three corners.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool for 1 minute on the cookie sheet before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

THE BEST EVER CHERRY HAMENTASHEN
We eat hamentashen on the holiday Purim. They are triangle shaped cookies because Haman had a triangle shaped hat. My dad owns a bakery and is a baker my whole life. He makes these hamentashen every Purim. They are my favorite. When I was in college he always mailed me a box. Now I just make them myself. Hamentashen are traditionally filled with poppyseed filling or prune filling, but my Dad makes other flavors too. Cherry is my favorite, but you can also use apricot jam or use your imagination.

HAMANTASHEN
These are the traditional triangular filled cookies eaten for the Jewish holiday of Purim. They are shaped like the 3-cornered hat worn by the bad guy in the story, Haman. The Purim story is from the biblical Book of Esther. OK -- history aside, these are yummy cookies! I tried 5 different recipes for hamantashen this year, and this was by far my favorite. This recipe is ever-so-slightly altered from the original, which is by Flo Braker, pastry goddess. Edited to add: the traditional fillings are spiced prune (lekvar), poppyseed, and apricot. My kids' favorites are cherry and chocolate. Do whatever makes you happy!
