I also decreased the baking time to about 14 minutes total, so as to keep the edges somewhat soft. My only question would be how to keep them nice and puffy, and not as flat like they turned out for me. I think some spreading can be attributed to the jelly though. Should I put more filling in next time? <br /><br />To the person claiming she was wronged by this recipe- Perhaps you didn't pinch the corners well enough?

After being in the oven for about 8 minutes, the edges started to fall and the chocolate started spilling out. I had left over chocolate so I decided to try them again, this time making the dough 1/2 thick and a lot bigger. I made about 6 hamantashen this way, and the edges did not fall, and the chocolate did not spill out. I recommend you change the dimensions of the hamantashen dough to 1/2 inch for future customers and reference. You disgraced the hamantaschen world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002612879648972347.post-91966337264127650462011-03-14T21:58:18.090+01:002011-03-14T21:58:18.090+01:00Hi Carol,
