Or, just enjoy your sweets in moderation, and it's not so unhealthy. Purim comes but once a year!

Next time, I'll try sifting the cocoa before measuring it & I'll see if that helps. I found that adding water- about 1/4 cup, more or less- made the dough pliable and easy to roll out and fold.

I was using The Great American Cookie Book Hamentaschen recipe as a guide, since the instructions were very detailed. The recipe called for "chilled butter," which usually produces a flakey dough; I guess that's what that recipe was going for. The moral of the story is that all Hamentaschen recipes are not alike. Maybe I'll try yours again next year. The temperature was the problem, I think. I was using The Great American Cookie Book Hamentaschen recipe as a guide, since the instructions were very detailed.

Our dough was almost like soft fudge after mixing... very smooth. We used Fleischman's unsalted margarine sticks, at room temperature... I can't think of anything else that may have been particular to our preparation. That’s quite strange. Our dough was almost like soft fudge after mixing… very smooth.

The dough was <i>way<i> too crumbly. They tasted terriffic, though. I don’t know why, but I had serious consistency problems when I tried this recipe. The dough was <i>way<i> too crumbly.
