Purim is technically over, but around these parts you might find fresh hamantaschen at any time of year. Tradition is nice, but cookies are nicer.

(Art by RowKreamArt. Recipe from my mother-in-law. Both bake a mean cookie.)
Hamantaschen
Preheat oven to 350.
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups sugar
4 eggs
1/4 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 cups flour
pie filling – apricot for me, strawberry if you must
Combine sugar and oil.
Add eggs, juice, and vanilla and mix well.
Add dry ingredients.
Roll into a ball, then divide that ball in four.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece fairly thin.
Cut into circles with the rim of a glass.
Place 2/3 teaspoon filling in middle of each. You may be tempted to add extra, but I assure you this will end in heartache. While we’re discussing heartache, I should mention that you also do not want to substitute jam or jelly for the pie filling. Disaster in the making.
Pinch sides to form a triangle.
Bake 15-20 minutes. We prefer them on the 15 minute side. You do you.
