For a richer flavor, consider using browned butter in the dough. If the dough becomes too sticky while rolling, lightly dust it with more flour. Experiment with different extracts like almond or lemon for a unique twist. Ensure your filling isn't too wet, as this can cause the hamantashen to leak during baking. For a shiny finish, brush the unbaked hamantashen with an egg wash before baking.
