STEP 1 Preheat oven to 375°F. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until well blended. Beat in 2 eggs, zest, and vanilla, blending thoroughly. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth. STEP 2 Cover dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled. Dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour, then roll the dough into a ¼-inch thick layer. Using a cookie cutter, cut out 2½-inch rounds. Place a teaspoon of jam or preserves in the center of each round. Fold edges toward center to form a triangle, leaving some filling visible. Pinch edges together to seal. STEP 3 Place the hamantaschen about 1 inch apart on a lightly greased, parchment-lined baking sheet. Beat remaining egg and brush over the top of each hamantaschen. Bake for 10–12 min., or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool
