Preheat oven to 375. Line or grease baking sheets.
In a large bowl mix together all ingredients to form a stiff dough.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to ⅛-inch thickness.
Using a round cookie cutter/biscuit cutter/ round drinking glass cut out circles and place them onto prepared cookie sheets.
Put a teaspoon of filling in the center of each circle.
Using your finger, swipe a tiny bit of water round the outer edge of the circle. Then pinch the sides to form three corners.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool. Careful jam filling is hot!
Notes
Suggestions for making Hamantaschen
Make sure that the edges of dough are pinched closed before baking. If the dough is too dry, use a little bit of water on your finger as a glue. Hamantashen that are not completely closed will open up during baking as they expand. They will still taste good but the filling might leak out.
Do not overfill. If you overfill the hamantaschen then as it heats in the oven, you will have a filling leak all over your baking tray and this will make everything sticky. (That kind of defeats the purpose of a mess free recipe).
Make extra. They freeze very well and can be thawed out in about 30 minutes.
