Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Xylitol or erythritol (granulated sugar substitute)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Butter (dairy-free butter for a non-dairy option)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free fruit preserves (e.g., raspberry, apricot, or prune)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xylitol or erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, and almond milk.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly soft but not sticky. Add a little more gluten-free flour if necessary.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper or on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.
Using a round cookie cutter (about 3 inches in diameter), cut out circles from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Place a scant teaspoon of sugar-free fruit preserves in the center of each circle.
Fold the edges of each circle to form a triangular shape, pinching the corners together tightly to seal. Be sure the filling stays visible in the center.
Bake the hamantaschen in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these gluten-free, sugar-free hamantaschen during Purim or any time you crave a festive treat!
