Kiffles (Hungarian Kifli Cookies) 🇭🇺

---

Instructions

1. Make the dough

In a bowl, mix cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add flour, sugar, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.

2. Chill

Wrap dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (this helps make flaky cookies).

3. Roll & cut

Roll dough on a floured surface. Cut into small triangles or squares.

4. Fill

Place a small amount of filling at the wide end of each piece.

5. Shape

Roll gently into a crescent shape (like a small croissant).

6. Bake

Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes, until lightly golden.

7. Finish

Let cool slightly, then dust generously with powdered sugar.
