Hamantaschen are triangular-shaped cookies made from buttery shortcrust dough, filled with sweet fillings such as poppy seed (mohn), apricot jam, date paste, chocolate, or prune, then baked until golden. Traditionally associated with the Jewish holiday of Purim, these cookies symbolize the defeated enemy Haman’s hat, ears, or pockets (depending on interpretation). Though rooted in Ashkenazi Jewish traditions, Hamantaschen are now widely baked and sold in Israeli bakeries and homes during the Purim season.
