Equipment

  • stand mixer

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ tsp salt

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F (176 C), line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour and salt. Set aside
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the vegan butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy,
  • Add in 3 tablespoons of almond milk, the orange zest, and the vanilla and mix well (it may not completely blend in and that is okay).
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until moistened.
  • Add additional almond milk if necessary until the dough is easily workable.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and allow it to chill for at least two hours before proceeding.
  • Roll out to roughly ⅛” thickness on a lightly floured surface, then cut the dough into 2 to 2 ½ inch circles and transfer to baking sheet.
  • Add a small amount of jam (about 1 teaspoon) to the center of each circle, then fold the sides up and pinch to make a triangle shaped cookie. Pinch closed a bit more than you think needed, as they do open up while being baked. See the pictures for help with this part!
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the hamantaschen are lightly golden

Notes

Makes roughly 18 cookies, depending on size.
