[Sca-cooks] Cookie Recipe(s) for December 7: Hamantaschen

[Samrah]

Don't know if these are the exactly same cookie or not, but a Hebrew chef (yep, dear William, he was an aweful lot of things and a working chef was one of 'em ;o)  introduced me to something that sounded like Hamantaschen (with a heavy accent it was hard to be sure.  They were Hamansomething or other, named for the evil character from the Book of Ester of the Bible because he had big ears!)   The cookies were date filled, and the first time I had ever enjoyed dates!

Sort of an exaggerated Linzer torte.
