Hamantaschen, a cookie bursting with history
CBSN
This week at Breads Bakery in New York City, one cookie is bound to outsell the rest. "Hamantaschen are the most perfect little cookie," said owner Gadi Peleg. "The most requested item that we get to continue to do all year is hamantaschen."
Hamantaschen, a triangular-shaped cookie, is served during the Jewish holiday of Purim, which begins Wednesday.
In the days leading up to Purim, Peleg expects to sell as many as 10,000 cookies a day, with a variety of fillings: chocolate ("sort of like a brownie nestled inside the cookie"), poppy seeds, or jam.
On Nov. 13, 2016, Dr. Eric "Scott" Sills, a renowned California fertility doctor, called 911 and reported finding his wife and business partner Susann Sills unresponsive at the bottom of the stairs. An initial investigation revealed some evidence that was consistent with an accidental fall. But as "48 Hours" correspondent Tracy Smith reports, other evidence pointed to something more sinister. DETECTIVE: How do you know she — she got an email? MARY-KATHERINE SILLS: I woke up and my dad was just like on the covers just laying there like there wasn't enough room to get in I guess. So, he was just laying there.
