Hamentashen

Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
variety of fillings

Directions
1. Beat eggs, add oil and mix. Add the sugar, vanilla, baking powder and salt. Add the flour gradually and mix well. Don't overwork it though!
2. Refrigerate a few hours or overnight in a sealed container.
3. Kneed dough until it becomes soft enough to roll. Cut dough with three inch cup or three inch round cookie cutters. Put about 1 tablespoon of pie filling into the middle of each circle. Fold up the edges of the circle into the middle and pinch together.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 20 minutes.

NOTE: This was very tasty. Just make sure you roll the dough fairly thin and don't overstuff them. I had a few turn inside out and the filling on the sheet pan.
