Debra, it definitely seems more cookie-like to me. Enjoy!

These look great. I will definitely be trying my hand at GF hamentashen this week. Just wondering _ will this yield a cookie type dough or a cakey style dough?

Jules – that helps. Thanks! I will use coconut oil. Its one of the few oils I can eat. Thanks for all you do to bring us gluten free products and recipes!

Marina – butter has a higher moisture content than does shortening (which has no moisture), so you may need to account for it in recipes if you substitute (add a bit more flour, if you find that the dough is too wet). You could also try coconut oil as a shortening sub — it’s a solid like shortening at room temp. Hope that helps you!

😊thank you so much for this recipe. I am going to try it this weekend. My daughter made g-full hamentashen and my mouth was watering. Now I can have my own batch.

Is it possible to make your cookies and crackers just using butter rather than using shortening? I can’t eat shortening or canola/peanut/vegetable oils, etc. Thanks!

In this recipe, if you are not using my flour (which already includes xanthan gum), add around 1 tsp. xanthan gum per cup of gluten-free flour.

Hi Bee – I don’t know exactly what’s in that flour blend, but you could give it a try. If it doesn’t already contain xanthan gum, you will need to add that, as my flour blend contains xanthan gum. Hope it works with that flour!
