Ah, the chocolate goopy Israeli syrup kind. Very kid-friendly. They look yummy.
ReplyDeleteMore "frosting-y" than syrupy - it's the same stuff they spread on bread for sandwiches (which this mean mom won't buy for my kidsj, bad enough they get it in their afternoon program some days). It stayed pretty solid after baking :).
ReplyDeleteAnd yup, they were pretty yummy. I'm on a diet and it's taking all of my willpower not to go scarf one down right now.
oooh what fun!
ReplyDeleteI bet the kids LOVE making those...mmmm. Dang, I'm gonna have to go buy chocolate!
ReplyDeleteSome of my best childhood memories are of baking with my Mom. This looks like lots of messy, delicious fun, and that's the best kind!

ReplyDeleteAww, man! I was going to make some on Sunday, but we might be road tripping to my new cousin's bris. Apricot's the big hit over here; we don't have cool chocolate fillings. :(
ReplyDeleteThose look so yummy. I would have been sneaking chocolate too.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
i never thought of putting that stuff into hamantaschen. i'm so buying some for my preschoolers at our local israeli grocery store...
ReplyDeletei love her little sneaking finger....
Mmmmmmmmm. Absolutly love Maya caught with her hand in the filling jar!!
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate spread inside the cookies are making me drool :P
ReplyDeleteMaya already knows what's good. I'd be doing the same thing. That's a fun picture.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Hamenstaschen! Time to do some baking! I've never had them with chocolate; and since I'm allergic to chocolate, I'll stick with the prunes and walnuts. Yum!
ReplyDeleteOh Yum...
ReplyDeleteVery appetizing! Great shots.
ReplyDeleteThey look really, really good--so unlike the ones I have made!
ReplyDeleteCan't really blame her! I'd do the same too! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love hamenstaschen. My grandmother used to make them every year.
ReplyDeleteOoh they look tasty. If I were Maya I would have been sneaking the filling too!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, they look delicious!! :D
ReplyDeleteI love this with the finger going into the jar..Your kids are beautiful Robin... Michelle
ReplyDeleteMmmm, looks delish, Robin! I'll be by for coffee...
ReplyDeleteThey seem to have turned out well.
ReplyDeleteYummy...
ReplyDeletegah! torture by cookie! i'm starving!
ReplyDeleteGiggles!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that first picture!!!
The cookies look yummie, are you going to post the recipe?
Ohhh I just learned something new, Mmmm... they look so good. Happy WW
ReplyDeleteThose look good Robin......is that Nutella?
ReplyDeleteRecipe????
You can't beat chocolate, although poppy seed is good too.
ReplyDeleteI posted a WW today. Please feel free to visit (http://tinyurl.com/ameerb), and enter my contest while you’re there. Thanks.
They sound and look delicious. Just enough chocolate peeking out of the middle to drive me insane!!!
ReplyDeleteHome baked hamenstaschen must be amazing .. sadly the ones in the bakery are not so tasty ... but then no one made them like my Grandma Sophie who also made the most delicious ruggala ...
ReplyDeleteoooo I love hamenstachen! There is a great place in Baltimore that has them year round. Haven't found any really good ones here. Can you share a recipe?
ReplyDeleteI'll post the recipe a bit later - it will be in a new post but I'll add a link to the bottom of this one as well.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to try one Mary you're going to have to use the recipe - ours are all gone already :-). (Next batch to follow this weekend, in preparation for the mishloach manot (treat bags) that both kids need to bring to school on Sunday.)
They look fab! The least you could have done was send one to each of your commentors (is that a word?)
ReplyDeleteWe'll be baking our hamentaschen this weekend. I make a lot of fruit flavored ones (raspberry, lemon, cherry and strawberry) but my personal favorite are the almond/chocolate chip ones I invented. You used that canned Solo almond paste, not the marzipan kind, and then add a few chocolate chips before folding. TO DIE FOR!
ReplyDeleteI just wish I could figure out a way to keep the lemon curd from running, which it does every year. But they're so good I have to keep making them.
Here in Australia Hamen's ears are the go in the Jewish community, which I live amongst. I'm trying to think with my incredibly lazy, sleep deprived head, whether Hamentaschen are made here too. Will make a stop at the Kosher bakery to check this out. :)
ReplyDeleteHamentaschen and Haman's Ears ("Oznei Haman") are the same thing - just two different names. Hamentaschen originally comes from the Ashkenazi (Eastern European) tradition while Haman's Ears is the name used in Israel and by the Sephardi Jewish community :).
ReplyDeleteIt go late here. I'll post my recipe tomorrow.
ooo..I am hungry just simply looking at these! Oh and I love the pic of your kitchen - I wish I had one just like that! Awesome...
ReplyDeleteLooks mighty tasty. And obviously it's a hit with the littles. Sort of like chocolate baklava... without all the work.
ReplyDeleteLooks so yummy, thanks for the recipe, will try this in my spring break :)
ReplyDeleteHad these this month. Although the one I ate had a raspberry filling. Yummy! Looks like fun to make.
