Have Yourself A Nutty Purim - by Marcy Goldman
Purim is usually highlighted with a plethora of sweets and treats, namely hamantashen. In my book, A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking, and in the Clabber Girl archive of recipes, you will find many great traditional hamantashens and other great baking ideas for Purim gift baskets. But this year, I am feeling a touch nutty, which actually goes with the frivolous, topsy-turvy moods of the holiday itself. read more . . .
Recipes:
Purim Hazelnut Shortbread Cookies with Hazelnut Cream - Nutella, that popular hazelnut and chocolate paste is sheer decadent when sandwiches inside this classic shortbread. There are also kosher versions of this wonderful baking ingredient. These cookies are crowd-pleasing.
Toasted Almond and Plum Jam Crescent Cookies
Plum jam adds flair to this delicate Purim pastry/cookie.
Key Lime Cashew Cookies - Thick rounds of cashew cookies with a Key Lime accent. Nothing beats the tropical scent of lime in the middle of March, Purim or not. Boyajian Inc. makes pure lime oil and is widely available or can be ordered online. If you do not have it, substitute lime extract (try Spice Etc.).
