Hungarian Kiffle Cookies🇭🇺…

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Make the Dough:

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt.
  2. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add egg and vanilla, mixing until the dough comes together.
  4. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

2. Shape the Cookies:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Divide dough into small portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle or rectangle.
  3. Spread a thin layer of your filling over the dough.
  4. Cut into triangles. Roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip, forming a crescent shape.

3. Bake:

  • Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake 12–15 minutes, until lightly golden on the edges.

4. Finish:

  • Cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.

💛 Ashley’s Tips:

  • Keep the butter cold for a tender, flaky texture.
  • Fillings can be fruit preserves, nut paste, or even chocolate spread.
  • Store in an airtight container — they stay fresh for several days.

If you want, I can also give you a quick 3-ingredient Kiffle cookie version — still buttery and tender, perfect for a fast homemade treat!
