    As you probably know, Purim (The Jewish holiday celebrating the saving of the Jewish people from Haman, who planned to kill all the Jews) is quickly coming. To Celebrate we bake hamantaschen cookies also knows as Purim cookies and send them in a mishloh manot (sending portion) to family and friends.

    Maybe you’ve never heard of hamantaschen cookies? These cookies are famous for their triangle shape and always contain some form filling. This time, because the dough has dark color, I wanted to use a filling that can be seen so I chose a white chocolate spread, although you can use any spread you like, such as peanut butter, jelly, milk chocolate spread, Nutella etc.

    I am sharing a delicious chocolate hamantaschen cookies that are the traditional Purim dessert. The dough contains cocoa powder and makes the cookies chocolaty and yummy. (That’s all anyone wants to hear when it comes to cookies, right?!) For vanilla hamantaschen, check out my recipe for vegan hamantaschen cookies. In addition I have other hamantaschen recipes to choose from- gluten free hamantaschen, apple pie hamantaschen, and even savory hamantaschen, check out my Purim recipe index to get them all.

      This is extremely soft and sticky. Something about the quantities must be off here. Don’t recommend
