So no to coconut and yes to hamentaschen! This Sunday was Purim. Instead of re-posting the Purim story, I'll link to my blog entry from last year that discussed the holiday. I will post new photos of hamentaschen. Normally, we have some kids over to bake with us and eat. This year, we were recovering from the plague, so two dozen of the little beauties was all we could handle. Hamentaschen are essentially filled butter cookies. The traditional fillings are prune and poppy. Here we use strawberry jam, apricot jam, and chocolate chips.
Here's the Boy and Girl (with lots and lots of stuff on the table) filling and forming the cookies.
This is a cookie sheet with filled cookies ready to go into the oven.
Mmmmmm. Delicious!
mmmm, hamentaschen. These look great! And I commend you for your self-restraint. I made over 80 of them and could still make more. It's not even like we eat them all; I just think of more and more people to give them to...
ReplyDeleteI love Hamentaschen. We have a bakery that makes poppy seed hamentaschen and it is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Purim! :)
Oh those cookies look great! I remember that part in Big, LMAO!
ReplyDeletei've always wanted to try making hamentaschen.

ReplyDeleteI've loved hamentaschen ever since someone brought them to work (probably around Purim). I've never made them, but I will someday!
ReplyDeleteI need to make hamentaschen- haven't done it since grade school! So I'm not offended in the least!

ReplyDeleteThese look delicious, and I've learned something new - I've never seen hamentaschen before.
ReplyDeleteyay for hamentaschen! They look great.
ReplyDeleteI bet I'd like hamentaschen more than I like coconut custard! Looks great!
