Title: Joan Nathan's Chosen Hamantaschen
Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Nuts, Citrus, Fruits
Yield: 30 Servings

10 oz Unsalted butter; softened
1 c Sugar
1 lg Egg
1 ts Vanilla
1 tb Orange juice
3 c Unbleached all-purpose
- flour
1 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
1 c Toasted walnuts
1/2 Lemon; quartered, seeded
1/2 Orange; quartered, seeded
1 tb Triple Sec
2 Dried figs; rough chopped
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1/2 c Orange marmalade

To make the dough, cream the butter with 1/2 cup sugar
in a food processor or standing mixer. Add the egg, 1/2
teaspoon vanilla, and orange juice and continue to cream
until smooth.

Add 2 1/2 cups of the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Mix until the dough comes together, adding flour until
the dough is pliable. It will be slightly sticky. Roll
into a ball, using the remaining flour if needed,
flatten, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at
least 2 to 3 hours or overnight.

To make the filling, place walnuts, lemon, orange,
Triple Sec, figs, cinnamon, marmalade, 1/2 teaspoon
vanilla, and 1/2 cup sugar in a food processor and
process until chopped but not pureed. You should have
approximately 2 cups. Set aside until the dough is
chilled.

Set the oven @ 375ºF/190ºC and grease a cookie sheet.
Fill a small bowl with water.

Roll the dough out on a slightly floured board until it
is 1/8" thick. Cut into 3" circles. Place 1 teaspoon of
filling in the center of each circle. To shape the
hamantashen, first brush water around the rim of the
circle with your finger. Pull the edges of the dough up
to form a triangle around the filling and pinch the 3
corners together, leaving a small opening in the center.
Transfer to a cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes
or until the tops are golden.
