    Great cookies. Author mentions in recipe intro that she was aiming to create a hamantaschen that was more tender than the typical version - these are indeed more tender and also more slender than typical. I'm actually very fond of the bulkier/tougher versions, however, so I wouldn't necessarily pick this version over those. Poppy seed filling was very good - moderately nubbly texture and good flavor blend that still let the delicate poppy seed flavor shine through. Vitamix dry blender jar did a great job grinding poppy seeds for the filling. The author's recipe for apricot lekvar was also very good as a filling, but I'm such a huge fan of poppy seed that it's hard to compete. Dough was easy to handle - not sticky at all in a cool (65F) kitchen. I rerolled dough scraps more than the 1 time specified in recipe - those cookies were a bit tougher but still very good. When forming the triangles, have the top dough flaps nearly touch in the center - they tend to unfold in the oven.
