What Are Traditional Purim Cookies Called?
The triangular-shaped cookies enjoyed during Purim are called hamentaschen. They are a staple treat for this holiday, representing the defeat of Haman's evil plot.

Hamentaschen are also a part of the tradition of sending gifts for Purim, or Mishloach Manot. Send someone you love our deluxe gift basket, which includes our delicious hamentaschen, specialty Purim cookies, juice, dried fruit, a mask, toy and mini clapper/grogger.
Why Do We Eat Hamentaschen on Purim?
Hamentaschen have symbolic ties to the Purim story. Some say the triangular shape represents Haman's hat, ears, or pockets. Eating hamentaschen reminds us of the triumph of good over evil. It's a sweet way to connect with Purim's themes of joy and celebration.
What Fillings Are Popular for Hamentaschen?
Traditional fillings include poppy seed (mohn), prune, apricot, and raspberry jam. But modern twists can incorporate flavors like chocolate, Nutella, caramel, or even savory fillings like cheese or spinach.
