We’re all for holidays that have their own cookie! Purim cookies, also known as Hamantaschen – meaning Haman hats, pockets, or ears depending on who you ask, are the cookie dejour for this Hebrew holiday!
This recipe reads a bit like a Great British Baking Show technical challenge – we’re assuming you know the basics of how to make cookies in general and what Purim cookies look like. But the ingredients are super simple and you likely already have them in your pantry!
