Fresh fruit adds natural sweetness and reduces sugar content.

Whisk together sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth with room temperature eggs.

Incorporate flour into the egg mixture until a loose, shaggy dough forms; avoid overmixing to prevent dryness.

Work the dough with your hands until a dough ball forms.

Flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut out 3-inch circles using a drinking glass.

Prepare fillings (chocolate hazelnut spread and apricot jam) and have them ready to use.

Scoop about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of each circle; use slightly less for chocolate spread to prevent overflow.

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to form a triangle, pinching the corners to seal.

Coat the formed Hamantaschen with an egg wash to ensure a golden brown crust and prevent edges from peeling up.

Place the Hamantaschen in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, checking to avoid over-browning.

Prepare melted dark chocolate and crushed peanuts for topping; melt chocolate using a double boiler method or microwave.

Once melted, dip the corners of the Hamantaschen in chocolate and sprinkle with crushed peanuts, then place on a rack to set.
