Photo gallery: Hamantaschen cookie recipe

Hamantaschen (also known Haman's Ears in Israel, or Haman's Hat in North America) are filled triangular cookies baked especially for Purim, a joyous Jewish festival celebrating the overthrow of the evil Haman. Children don costumes and deliver gifts of food - such as these cookies - to family and friends.
