Hamantaschen are back--woohoo! I had missed these from my pre-GF days. It's true that they aren't quite like the firmer, more crumbly cookies of my youth, but the softer texture is actually really nice. I served these to several of my gluten-eating friends--some Jewish and some not--and they got rave reviews all around. Cooking notes: I was able to make these without any sort of an electric/standing mixer--it wasn't too difficult at all. Also, my generally needed 17-20 minutes to bake.

Excellent! These are so good. I have never had a GF cookie taste so good with such a nice texture. The egg wash helps the cookies to have a litle crisp outer texture. I got lazy and rolled the dough in small balls with my hands squished with my fingers a bit into a circle, made a well and dropped the jam in the well , I didn't do the egg wash they were still really really good but the egg wash made them just a bit better-either way, amazing! I also used and silicone mat on the cookie sheet (walmart, target? inexpensive and cuts out the need for greasing flowering etc ) makes for less burning mistakes with GF cookies-Thank-you so much for posting this I never thought I would ever taste a cookie this good again (w/o cheating!)
