Prepare the Dough

For the Coconut-Nut Filling

Combine all ingredients.

For the Chocolate Filling

1.

Place first five ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over low heat.

2.

When you have a smooth consistency, remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3.

Beat yolks with vanilla and add to cooled mixture. Mix well.

For the Poppy Seed Filling

1.

Cook the wine and sugar until it reaches a boil.

2.

Add remaining ingredients and mix well.

3.

Remove from heat and cool in the fridge.

Assemble and Bake

1.

Preheat oven to 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius).

2.

Knead the cool dough one more time and divide into four. Roll out each piece on a floured surface.

3.

Cut out circles with a glass and place a small amount of desired filling in the middle of each circle. Pinch corners to form hamantashen and place on a baking tray lined with Gefen Parchment Paper.

4.

Bake for about 15 minutes or until nicely browned.
