Here’s a classic Hungarian Christmas Walnut Cookies (Hókifli) recipe ❄️🌰🍪
Hungarian Walnut Cookies (Hókifli / Hókarácsony)
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 cup ground walnuts
½ cup powdered sugar (plus extra for dusting)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Make the dough:
In a bowl, mix flour, ground walnuts, powdered sugar, and salt.
Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add vanilla and knead lightly until a smooth dough forms. Wrap in plastic and chill 30–60 minutes.
Shape the cookies:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll dough into small logs or crescent shapes.
Bake:
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake 12–15 minutes, until lightly golden on the bottom.
Dust with powdered sugar:
Let cookies cool slightly, then dust generously with powdered sugar.
✨ Tips:
Use finely ground walnuts for a smoother texture.
Can substitute half the walnuts with almonds for variation.
Perfect for gifting or a festive cookie platter.
If you want, I can make a short, punchy, Facebook-viral version with emojis and a caption that makes people comment “YES, I want this!” 😏. Do you want me to do that?
