1) Find a great dough recipe.
Often, the problems people have with baking hamantaschen can be traced
to an inferior dough. Here are two foolproof, tasty dough recipes that I
highly recommend. They are easy to handle and shape, and they provide
great results when baked:
2) Roll your dough out to 1/8 inch thick (or less). You want your dough to be as thin as possible, while still being thick enough to maintain the cookie’s structure. 1/8 inch seems to be the magic number; sometimes I roll mine out even thinner than that. For a more doughy texture you can roll it thicker, but remember– the thicker the dough is, the harder it will be to handle and shape. Thick dough is also more prone to opening/spreading in the oven.

Paper Mishloach Manot
Paper baskets are useful around the house and make great gifts. They can
be made using materials you already have and are a fun and easy craft
for any age
Prepare strips of paper to weave your basket. Use
three sheets of 8.5" x 11" construction paper. On the sheet of paper to
become the base of your basket, draw a horizontal line 3.5 inches
(8.9 cm) from the top and another one 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) from the
bottom. These lines will help when laying out the base. Then cut the
paper lengthwise into strips .5" wide.
Choose one sheet of a neutral color of construction paper like
brown, black, or white. This will be the base of your basket. The other
two sheets can be any color of your choice. This will form the
decorative sides of your basket.
