Hamantaschen, also known as Haman’s Ears, are traditional triangular cookies eaten during the Jewish holiday of Purim. These delightful treats feature a tender, slightly crumbly dough that encases a luscious filling of cinnamon sugar. The contrast between the crisp, buttery exterior and the soft, sweet interior creates a perfect bite-sized dessert. While often filled with jam or poppy seeds, this version highlights the classic warmth of cinnamon and sugar. They are easy to shape and bake, making them a wonderful project for families or a charming addition to any festive gathering. Serve them warm with a cup of tea or coffee for a comforting experience.
