I made these for a friend wanting “healthy” treats for a get together. I adapted a recipe from WW (the company formerly known as Weight Watchers) adding stem ginger to the filling and replacing agave syrup with xylitol. As they have a hamantaschen-esque appearance, I also sprinkled poppy seeds over for a more Purim feel. A few guests asked if they were hamantaschen, so it must have worked. Use all-butter puff pastry or even buttered filo if calories aren’t an issue.
