This Hamentashen recipe is delightful! The cookies are crunchy, crumbly, just sweet enough. Shaped into triangles and filled with sweet poppy seed or fruit fillings, they’re a popular treat for the Jewish holiday of Purim. I love this oil-based dough because it is very easy to handle. I feel like I’ve tried just about every hamentashen recipe out there, but this one is my all-time favorite. The dough, which uses oil instead of butter, is easy to handle and holds its shape well during baking.
