In order to honor this holiday, I decided to try making Hamentaschen, the filled cookie made by Jewish people for Purim. After received a few recipes I decided to reach out to my husband’s Aunt Carol who graciously shared a recipe passed down to her
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Sift together dry ingredients. Make a depression in the center and add eggs, oil and shortening. Mix thoroughly and knead into a dough.
Roll out to a 1/8 inch thickness and cut with a 3 inch round cookie cutter. Place a teaspoon of filling into the middle of each circle. Fold up the bottom and then the two other sides to create a triangle. Pinch the edges together to form a slight ridge.
Brush with Egg Wash.
Bake on parchment for 15 minutes until golden brown
Buon Appetito!
