A Sugar Free Hamantaschen Recipe
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time18 minutes
Total Time1 hour 28 minutes
Servings: 25 -30

Ingredients

  • 1. Flour- 3 cups AP can sub in alternatives such as low carb flour or a gluten free flour.
  • 2. Salt- ½ tsp.
  • 3. Butter- ¾ cup softened
  • 4. Sugar Alternative- Equivalent to ½ cup of sugar granular such as Splenda, works well.
  • 5. Eggs- 2 large.
  • 6. Vanilla Extract- 1 tsp .
  • 7. Filling- 1 ½ cups see post for details.

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt. Set this bowl aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix the butter and sugar alternative until creamy.
  • To the butter and sugar alternative, add the eggs, then the vanilla and zest and continue to mix. – Now, slowly add the flour mix a third at a time, mixing between additions.
  • – When dough forms a ball, and it may need your help in doing so, wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for at least and hour.
  • – When ready to prepare, preheat your oven to 350 and prep your pans for nonstick. I use parchment or silicon for this.
  • – Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface, to about ⅛th thickness. You may want to divide the dough first and work in sections.
  • Use a 3-3 ½? cookie cutter or cup to cut out circles.
  • In the center of each circle, place about a teaspoon of filling. I would suggest working a few cookies at a time rather than the entire batch at once.
  • To form your triangle, fold the left and right sides of the circle together so that they meet at a corner on top, There should be filling exposed (about an inch) in the center as you do this. Pinch the corner formed tightly and then repeat this procedure folding up the bottom of the circle to form the rest of the triangle.The key is to pinch the corners tight enough to seal them as to not loose any filling out of the corners.
  • Using a pastry brush, you can brush a bit of water or additional egg on the dough to make it easier to work with.
  • Transfer to your cookies to your baking sheet.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes or until cookies start to brown.
