Oh, 15 months! This is the time to experiment. She is figuring out what happens if I do this...? Hold her hands gently, but away from the victim and show her how to use "gentle touches". Make sure everyone she does this to practices the same response. Hitting her back will reinforce the negative behavior and shows a lot of hypocrisy.
"Hands are not for hitting" is not only a cute kids book, another way to teach her. MOST IMPORTANTLY, she needs to know what IS okay, not just what isn't!
My son went through this too.

First and foremost, do not laugh when she does it! She thinks it's a game and she needs to learn that it hurts.
I don't believe in hitting your child, but it might take a slight tap (SLIGHT) on her hand in order for her to understand that slapping isn't fun at all.
Teach her a "good touch" by maybe playing with the persons hair, or give a hug, or just holding their hand. Be sure you make an example by doing it yourself! :) Good luck!

You may need to "dust her pampers", so to speak--not too hard or anything, but a light slap on her bottom ( or her hand, if you prefer) should show her that this kind of behavior not only hurts (at this stage, you need to do more than just tell her it hurts--she needs to know how it hurts), but should stop her from repeating the action. If she starts to repeat, remind her that it will happen to her if she continues it. A "timeout" might also work at this stage.

She is only 15 months old, she doesn't understand that this can be painful, she is touching, show her the way to touch gently. Don't yell, don't scream and by no means should you HIT her. Just say something like "no no, do nice" and guide her hand to softly pat or stroke.

I think you should pop her butt back not to hurt her , but to startle her and maybe she will stop doing it. I didn't say beat her or knock her on the ground though. That comes when she is a teenager= just kidding kinda.

she is just going through a phase try holding her hands( when she does it ) for a while and telling not to do that it may deter her in the near future basically you will have to be patient for this phase to pass

Well ask her if she wants you to do that to her. Tell her it hurts, and you don't like it, and why. If she continues to do it. Stand up and be the parent. I think sometimes kids, and parents seem to have that roles reversed. If she knows who's boss, she will know to stop. Period.
