Hamantaschen
Hamantaschen are a filled, triangular-shaped cookie traditionally served for the Jewish holiday Purim. At Soups and Sweets, we make hamantaschen in large batches and always weigh the flour, sugar, and eggs. The dough recipe below makes enough for 25 cookies. To make an even smaller batch at home, we recommend making the dough as written and once refrigerated and firm dividing in half. If wrapped well the dough can be refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for up to 3 months.
