Vegan Hamantaschen Purim Cookies
Get ready for Purim with traditional Purim cookies in a vegan festive version. They’re made with coconut oil, powdered sugar, and halva spread and topped with sprinkles.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup (150 grams) flour
- 4 tablespoon (40 grams) powdered sugar
- ⅓ cup (80 grams) coconut oil (refrigerated so it is solidified)
- Pinch of salt
- 8 tablespoon cold water
For the filling and garnish:
- Halva spread (sweet sesame seed spread)
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- In a blender, mix the flour, powdered sugar, salt, and coconut oil until it is in crumbly consistency.
- Pour the water into the blender and blend until everything is combined together to form a dough.
- Begin by molding the dough into a disc shape on baking paper and then placing it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Afterward, roll out your chilled dough onto a floured surface.
- Use either a glass, a knife or a cookie cutter to form circles.
- Fill each circle with 1 teaspoon of halva spread before pressing it into triangular-shaped cookies and top it off with sprinkles.
- For the perfect cookie texture, place the cookies on a baking tray and freeze them for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 170°C / 350°F before you bake them for 14 minutes - but be sure to check in after 10!
- If they're starting to look too golden brown, remove them from heat immediately so that they can remain light and crispy.
- Indulge and Happy Purim!
Notes
*If you want to avoid the coconut flavor use purified coconut oil- it has no flavor.
