Because Purim is right around the corner
a weekend during 1992, and as someone who cooks professionally, I thought I could at least weigh in on the Jewish cookie department.
Hamantaschen are a triangular-shaped cookie made to commemorate the Jewish celebration of Purim. The story of Purim involves a bad guy, Haman, a nice Jewish lady, Esther, and her ultimate victory over his plot to destroy the Jewish people. Hamantaschen are shaped to resemble and traditionally stuffed with sweet fillings made of poppy seeds, dried fruits, or fruit preserves . Sounds tasty, right? But upon reflection, Jews and non-Jews alike on thestaff could only call up childhood memories of dry and sandy hamantaschen that left your mouth coated with a weird film. "The filling was the thing that you thought might save it, but there was," says assistant editor Amiel Stanek.
So I set out to convert the haters. To create a hamantaschen that we could all enjoy, regardless of religious upbringing or tainted Hebrew School memories. I wanted to create a cookie in which the cookie itself was a pleasure to eat, whether or not you encountered filling in each bite. I wanted fillings that were moist even after baking, but not too sweet.
