Cocoa Halva Sesame Hamantashen
Every year since I did 10 Days of Hamantashen in 2020, I keep telling myself some version of, “I don’t need to make a bunch of flavors this year”, or “Remember how stressful that was last year?”, or the ever-favorite “Stop creating more work for myself.” But then the “Wellll, it doesn’t take that long […]
Cannoli Sandwich Cookies
Happy 2023, friends! Do you have bright, colorful, nutrient-rich salads and soups on deck for January? ME TOO, and I am so excited about them. And alsoooo… I’m still baking. A lot. See, my baking tends to roll with my breaks from school, and our winter break started so late this year, just two days […]
10 Days of Hamantashen, Day 10: Pistachio Nutella Halva Hamantashen
So this is it– the culmination of 10 days and LOTS and LOTS of hamantashen. I didn’t think I’d get to this point, but… (spoken in a hushed tone) I might actually be hamantashen-ed out! I’m so glad I saved these Pistachio Nutella Halva Hamantashen for last– I’m kind of in love with them. They […]

If you were thinking, “Yeah, these flavors are decent, but what I’m really craving is something sweet and salty…”, then we’re on the same page. Which is why I thought Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Hamantashen should be included in this collection. Like the Ugly-Delicious S’mores […]
10 Days of Hamantashen, Day 7: Confetti Cheesecake Hamantashen
Is there ever an age when one no longer gets excited about candy sprinkles? Because if there is, I never want to be that age. Sprinkles still bring me so much joy, and I love using them playfully in all kinds of baked goods. I went through a phase a few years ago where I […]
10 Days of Hamantashen, Day 3: Ugly-Delicious S’mores Hamantashen
Italians have a cookie called brutti ma buoni, which means ‘ugly but good’. They are meringues with nuts or chocolate chips folded into them, and they have nothing whatsoever to do with Purim, hamantashen, or Judaism in any way; the only thing they have in common with these Ugly-Delicious S’mores Hamantashen is just that– they […]
