Apricot Hamantaschen

Hamantaschen appear in Israeli bakeries every year as Purim approaches, stacked high in clear cases and carried home in paper bags for family tables. This version follows that familiar form: a soft, pale cookie folded by hand around a bright apricot filling. The shape is deliberate and traditional, formed to hold the filling exposed at the center, where color and texture remain visible even after baking.

The cookie dough is lightly sweet and crumbly, baked until set but not dry. Inside, apricot jam brings gentle acidity and fruit sweetness, balancing the richness of the dough. The filling stays smooth and dense, holding its shape without leaking or hardening. Each piece offers a clear contrast between tender pastry and concentrated fruit.

These hamantaschen are packed in a clear plastic container, reflecting how they are commonly sold in Israel for sharing at home, serving to guests, or bringing to holiday gatherings. The presentation keeps the cookies intact and visible, emphasizing their handmade appearance and familiar form.
