Hamantaschen cookies have huge significance in the Jewish culture and have been a part of its celebrations for centuries.
Usually eaten on an annual holiday, these cookies are just too delicious to only have them once a year.
For those who don’t know what they are, hamantaschen are triangular-shaped cookies originally filled with poppy seeds. However, you can always use any filling you prefer.

How much is the amount of 14 oz. (400 g) in cups?
one oz. is equal to ⅛ of a cup. So, 14 oz. is almost two cups (1¾ cups, to be exact).

No, the mixer isn’t obligatory. You can combine the soft butter and confectioner’s sugar with a wooden spoon, then add egg and vanilla extract. After adding the flour, you should start kneading by hand.

You can skip using the egg, but you don’t need to replace it with any egg substitute. All you need to do is add a bit of extra oil.
