Spoon heaping teaspoonfuls of the mixture into the cups (use another teaspoon to help remove the mixture from the spoon). Allow to cool completely or chill until ready to use. Makes 70-90 can- dies, depending on how much you fill the liners. HAMANTASCHEN There are many versions of these tradi- tional treats. This version is cookie- like instead of the bakery version, which uses yeast dough. 2 cups flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine 1/2 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla extract Filling: Use good quality jam or preserves (not jelly) or try a premade filling such as Solo. (They make an excellent poppyseed filling.) Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and whisk well. Set aside. Cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, until smooth. Add the vanilla and mix until combined. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Wrap the dough in plas- tic wrap and chill for 1 or more hours. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or spray well with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the dough in half. Roll one half on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut the dough into 3-inch rounds. Place 1 tea- spoon of filling in the center of each dough round. Lift two of the sides of each round and pinch them into a "corner." Lift the last side of the circle and pinch it to the other sides to form a triangle. (The center of the hamantaschen should be exposed.) Be sure to pinch the edges well or they will open during baking. Place the finished pastries on the prepared baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden. Allow to cool completely. Makes about 2 dozen hamantaschen.
