two plates with pastries on them, one is filled with jam and the other has powdered sugar

These traditional cookies or as we call them kifli's are truly a delight! The kifli is buttery and tender and the filling of walnut and homemade fig jam are wonderfully sweet and nutty. They are so delicious, you just can't stop at one!

Light, slightly sweet and delicious! When I mentioned to my husband, that I wanted to post my twelve favorite Christmas cookie recipes, he made sure I included this one. It's also his favorite! Oh, and he wasn't shy about reminding me that I didn't make these for him last year. I was so sure that I had made them, that I checked the pictures from last year just to prove it to him, but...no Holiday Horns! That cookie tray was blatantly devoid of his favorite cookie. He was right (I hate that!)…

several pastries are arranged on a floral plate

This is for Polish kifli dough only. Does not include filling as those are at discretion of each baker. My favorites are homemade tart cherry, homemade blueberry, homemade pineapple, and lemon or lime (using Dickerson lime curd) When I make my own filling I use cornstarch and fresh fruit to thicken and cut sweetness. The added benefit is greatly reduced sugar and reduced spreading of filling.

The crescent shape commemorates when the Bakers of Budapest foiled the impending attack of Turks by sounding an alarm […]

Kifliki (roczki)

Rolled-up cookies of Eastern European origins (I have variously seen them labeled as Kolaky, Kolachki, Roczki, and other names and various spellings, attributed to Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, and Czech and Slovak cuisine) with cream cheese dough and sweet nut filling. In Russian, they are Кифлики and often bent into a crescent shape once rolled into a tube (not pictured), and often served dusted with powdered sugar. Very similar to Polish Kołaczki and Hungarian Kolaches, but they are…
