Directions
Hamantashen, These are the traditional triangular filled cookies eaten for the Jewish holiday of Purim They are shaped like the 3-cornered hat worn by the bad guy in the story, Haman The Purim story is from the biblical Book of Esther OK — history aside, these are yummy cookies! I tried 5 different recipes for hamantashen this year, and this was by far my favorite This recipe is ever-so-slightly altered from the original, which is by Flo Braker, pastry goddess Edited to add: the traditional fillings are spiced prune (lekvar), poppyseed, and apricot My kids’ favorites are cherry and chocolate Do whatever makes you happy!, These are very tasty little cookie pies They are a bit of work, but fun to make I added a few drops of orange extract to the dough too I would like to make them again Made and Reviewed for Photo Tag Game – Thanks 🙂
