Easy Fruit-Filled Hamentashen

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Fruit-Filled Hamentashen.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and give two cookie sheets a light spritz of cooking spray to prevent sticking.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine a box of yellow cake mix with some all-purpose flour for a delightful base.

3. Step 3

   Next, add in your eggs and a splash of water, stirring until a stiff dough comes together.

4. Step 4

   Dust your countertop with a bit of flour and roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick, creating a perfect canvas for your treats.

5. Step 5

   Use a round cutter to carve out 3-inch circles from the dough, and place these circles on your prepared cookie sheets, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each one for some breathing room.

6. Step 6

   Now comes the fun part! Spoon a teaspoon of your favorite fruit preserves into the center of each circle, then gently pinch the sides together to form three corners, using a dab of water if needed to help seal them up.

7. Step 7

   Pop the cookie sheets into your preheated oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.

8. Step 8

   Once they’re done, let the cookies cool on the sheets for a minute before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

9. Step 9

   Enjoy the sweet aroma filling your kitchen as you anticipate the deliciousness that awaits!.
