Hamantashen are roaring these days. The dense hat shaped cookie filled with jam has become one of my favorite ways to cookie. Should I hate to say it… but Oreos are number one and I eat plenty of them. PLENTY. So today I want to recognize this special cookie for the upcoming Jewish holiday called Purim. These triangles came a long way with the original filling of poppy seed tucked away in the cookie center. Mohn= poppy seeds and tashen= pockets.

La Deliziosa pastry shop began making their version recently and I was quite excited to see. They are smaller than the usual, buttery, and mmm. Typically I’d get my hamantaschen from the grocery store which meant they were a little more dry and just not true to the integrity of the cookie!
