Cookies exist in pretty much every culture. People know what’s good and have done so for centuries. ;P But cookies do not look the same everywhere or are baked with the same ingredients, of course. There are sometimes quite big differences from country to country, even when they are next to each other. These Hamantaschen are based in Jewish cuisine and are very different from what we consider here (in Germany) as cookies or biscuits – but they definitely belong in the cookie category. ;)
