Make the Hamantaschen

1. First combine the wet ingredients for the dough, then add the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.

2. Roll out dough one-fourth inch thick. Using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out circles two inches in diameter.

3. Combine ingredients for the cheesecake filling. Place one teaspoon of filling into the center of each hamantasch. Fold up the sides and pinch the ends to form the hamantasch shape. 

4. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until lightly golden.

5. When cool, drizzle with caramel sauce.
