This recipe starts with a yellow cake mix and it is easy and delicious. It also uses prepared fruit filling. Everyone who tries this recipe loves it. It is a traditional recipe for the Purim holiday and the shape of the cookie represents the shape of the hat of Haman, the evil advisor to the King of Persia. Haman hated the Jews and wanted to kill them all and these pastries remind us of this hateful man who died instead of the Jews.
