Soft Hamantashen Recipe:
1 Box Yellow Cake Mix
1 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons water
Filling of your choice*
Directions:
1- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2- Spray cookie sheet with cookie spray.
3- In a large mixing bowl combine flour and cake mix.
4- Stir in water and eggs until a stiff dough forms.
5- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to 1/8 inch.
6- Cut into 2-3 inch circles, I use the top of a drinking glass dipped in flour before cutting.
7- Place dough 2 inches apart on cooking sheet.
8- Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each circle.
9- Fold the sides in to form three corners (triangle).
10- Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
11- Cool for 2 minutes on cookie sheets and remove to wire racks to cool completely.
*I took plain macadamia nuts, poured melted chocolate chips over them and mixed them in a bowl. I then place the nuts covered in chocolate on a cookie sheet by the teaspoon full and froze them like cookies. Once frozen, I used each "chocolate mac nut cookie" as a filler for the hamantashen- Chocolate Macadamia Nut Hamantashen- YUM!
Wow! What a good idea. I wonder if I can do this with any flavor cake mix? (As I happen to have a stack of them in the basement.)
