Ultimate Hamantaschen Collection: 46 Recipes From Sweet to Savory, Whole Wheat to Spelt, Classic to Gourmet

Hamantaschen. Hamantashen? Hamentaschen! Hamentashen @#$%!

We may not agree on how to spell it, but we all like to eat it!

We’ve asked some of our favorite kosher chefs to share their best hamantaschen recipes with us. Hamantaschen are the triangular shaped sweet-filled cookies we eat on the holiday of Purim. In Hebrew, they are called oznei haman, the “ears of Haman” — who knew Haman had triangular ears? Is he from Planet Vulcan like Spock? Some things get lost in translation… luckily, great recipes don’t!

Whether you’re looking for classic hamantaschen, classic with an update, healthier hamantaschen, something gourmet, or something savory, we have it all!!!

We’ve got the ultimate collection of hamantaschen that may even inspire you to try something new.

Enjoy these fabulous hamantaschen recipes. Happy Purim?

Mishloach Manot Concept (Mishloach Manot are the food gift bags people send each other on Purim):

Choose 2 or 3 favorite hamantaschen recipes, bake off a batch of each and gift family & friends a hamantaschen sampler platter.

I couldn’t find the “right” yeast dough hamantaschen recipe, either. I ended up modifying a sweet challah dough, cutting it in squares, folding it over into triangles and sealing it, brush with egg wash. It was PERFECT.

  That’s an interesting idea. This year I have broken ribs, but maybe next year I’ll try it. How did you modify the dough?

Very disappointed with your hamantaschen collection. All cookies, not a single one with yeast dough, which was the only kind that existed when I was a girl, and are in my opinion far superior to the cookie kind. I’ve been searching for a recipe that would recreate the hamantaschen of my childhood, but alas, I still don’t have a good recipe (I have yeast dough hamantaschen recipes, but none of them are right).
