Hamentashen is the triangular filled pastry connected to the Jewish holiday of Purim. The name refers to Haman, the villain in the Purim story. In Hebrew, hamantashen are also known as “Oznei Haman” which mean Haman's ears. While the oldest and most traditional filling is poppy seeds, with prune butter and assorted jellies coming in second and third, recent years have bakeries selling every flavor under the sun. This recipe uses a vanilla and chocolate marbleized dough with Oreo butter inside, virtually creating a cookie within a cookie once baked.
