Get your fruit-filled cookie fix.
If you don’t have a hamantaschen hookup, you’re in luck.
Bakeries are doling out the Purim specialty just in time for the holiday. The triangular cookie, filled traditionally with ingredients like poppy seed, apricot and chocolate, is shaped to represent the three-cornered hat worn by the villain Haman in the Book of Esther.
Most bakeries offer hamantaschen seasonally, so get them before they’re gone. Here’s where to find them.
