Notes
- These gluten free hamantaschen have very little sugar in them, just in the filling. If you want to add more sweetness then sprinkle powdered sugar on the baked hamantaschen.
- Feel free to experiment with different fillings. You can use jam, nut butter, or chocolate chips. Just make sure the filling is thick enough to stay inside the cookies.
