Great piece on Hamentashen varieties in Paris and Tel Aviv (by Joan Nathan)!

Me too, I love hamentashen cookies. I have found a delicious poppy seed filling available

at a local Gernam bakery. Think I will have to try these. Erin, thanks for posting.

 
Erin, I made a variation of hamantaschen for work today, pressing the dough into mini muffin pans

and filling them with my strawberry rhubarb jam and ground walnuts. I used this for the dough: 3c flour, 1/2c powdered sugar, 1 stick butter, 4 oz cream cheese, 1/4 c orange juice, 1 tsp vanilla 1 egg and 1/2 tsp baking powder. I mixed it all up in the food processor, chilled for awhile, then pressed hunks of dough into the pans and filled with the jam. baked at 375 for about 18 minutes. they were great and kept their shape smileys/smile.gif
