The Best Ever Cherry Hamentashen,We eat hamentashen on the holiday Purim. They are triangle shaped cookies because Haman had a triangle shaped hat. My dad owns a bakery and is a baker my whole life. He makes these hamentashen every Purim. They are my favorite. When I was in college he always mailed me a box. Now I just make them myself. Hamentashen are traditionally filled with poppyseed filling or prune filling, but my Dad makes other flavors too. Cherry is my favorite, but you can also use apricot jam or use your imagination.,OH MY Gosh! Love Love Love this recipe. I’m so proud of myself. Recipe wasn’t hard and the cookies look so beautiful. used raspberry filling. This recipe is a keeper for sure!,I loved this recipe! The batch didn’t even make it beyond my husband and I because they were simply too scrumptious! I chose to do half of the cookies with strawberry filling and the remaining half with cherry filling. I snuck a few itsy bitsy chocolate morsels into a few just to see how they turned out and it was amazing! The dough was a wee bit sticky but with a little added water, it came together nicely. I chose to keep the cookies in the fridge as I made the rest of the dough because room temperature was not ideal for the sitting dough. The dough had the most amazing flavor and they all turned out unbelievably well! I will be making them again tomorrow evening. PS: It’s wonderful to see another great rendition of such a wholesome Jewish dish 🙂 la-Chaim
