My thoughts:
I decided to construct hamantaschen because Purim is this weekend! I love hamantaschen besides the fifty-fifty out behind why we construct these cookies this 4th dimension of year. I wrote an cream cheese based hamantaschen, chocolate hamantaschen, vegan hamantaschen filled amongst kiwi jam besides orange ginger hamantaschen. Since I can, hamantaschen are a neat excuse to usage upwards final year's homemade jam (just construct sure enough it is thick or it testament run) simply before canning flavour starts upwards again. This year's hamantaschen is packed amongst not alone sneaky squash but fig jam is baked into the dough for extra flavour besides fiber.I wasn't sure enough how the puree would locomote inwards a cookie recipe but the puree was hence smooth, it truly seemed to "disappear" into the batter. Using the puree not alone added extra veggies but it gave it unopen to of the book I would commonly teach from butter hence that agency the recipe is vegan and pareve (without using margarine!). The dough was really wearisome to coil out besides locomote amongst besides tasted fantastic! No ane would know inward that identify was squash inwards the cookies if you lot didn't province them, they were simply lightly sweet.
