Prune because that’s what I grew up on. Would be hesitant to admit it in person to anyone.
Blueberry preserves is my runner up second favorite.

Poppy is most popular
Chocolate is the next
Halva is very common
Custard I’ve seen a lot lately, it’s delicious but I want that in a donut.
Ironically, Chanuka time you can find me complaining that I want a custard donut but there’s only jelly filled in the local bakeries.
(I wrote previously that I want jelly filled hamantashen and can’t find)

Savory think more of a dough instead of a cookie, cuz I don't like hamantashen!! The texture of the cookie and the jam.... On the same note I'm not crazy over doughnuts either

I also like prune. It's yummy, not sure why it's not more popular. Probably because of negative associations relating to prune consumption, but the flavour is delicious.

The standard ones you buy in a grocery are chocolate flavoured filling and thick hard dough. I don't buy them.

In general, Israel isn’t great in cookie making.
I would fly to NY just for a good cookie.

So true. There are fancy bakeries too but they usually don't have any mehadrin hechsher AFAIK.

Raspberry is my favorite but really I just want the outside.
Store bought only, reismans preferred. Give me the preservatives!
I eaten hundreds of hamentaschen in my life, homemade never compares.

Lekvar but only with my mom's dough recipe. I hate chocolate ones. DH only likes poppy seed.

Cherry pie filling is everyone’s favorite in my family. I don’t even bother making other flavors anymore!
