How to Make Gluten Free Hamantaschen Sugar Free Purim Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together agave nectar, eggs, vanilla extract, and oil.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in milk until the dough is smooth.
  6. Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each half into a thin circle (about 1/8 inch thick).
  7. Using a 3-4 inch cookie cutter (or a knife), cut out circles.
  8. Fill half of the circles with apricot preserves, the other half with lekvar.
  9. Fold the dough into a triangle and pinch the edges to seal.
  10. Place hamantaschen on prepared baking sheets.
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  12. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
  13. **To make homemade lekvar:** Combine 1 lb dried prunes with 2 cups boiling water. Let sit for 30 minutes, then drain well and puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. (Optional: Add a tiny bit of lemon juice for brightness).
  14. Note: Adjust baking time depending on your oven and desired level of crispness.
