Try A New Christmas Cookie This Year
This is my dads Hungarian Kifli cookie recipe that he used to make at his bakeries. It's a tradition of ours for Christmas and these cookies were the last thing my father gave me, and the first time I have made them since his passing. Just to be real with you, it was emotionally hard to do. Thank you for supporting my channel by subscribing, I will have new videos for you every week. And please leave a comment so we can get to know each other. Merry Christmas, Vicky :-)

Hungarian Kifli Recipe!! Noreen's Kitchen
Greetings! Today is Kifli day in my house. This may not mean much to some of you, but to me it is an annual tradition. Both of my grandmother's, my Mommom (my paternal grandmother) and my Nanny (my maternal grandmother) made this recipe.
Although I don't expect that many of you will undertake this recipe, I wanted to share it. Mostly because my cousin who is 10 years younger than I, saw that I was getting ready to make them and asked me for the recipe. I thought I would do the video to show how it is done, so she could have a place of reference.
Kifli is Hungarian for cookie it can refer to any small sweet treat in that language. But to me Kifli is a flaky pastry dough that is filled with any number of delicious fillings. Today I have made the traditional prune lekvar, apricot, cherry, pineapple and raspberry.
If you decide to try this, make sure that you make the dough the night before and plan on spending at least a half a day making the cookies. They are a labor of love but well worth the effort.
For me, Kifli help me to remember where I came from and also keep a tradition alive. I think we can all get caught up in everyday living that we sometimes forget that the holidays are not about stuff, they are about love. They are about remembering those who are no longer with us and they are about creating memories with our families and our children so that one day they will do the same.
Forgive me for getting so mushy, gushy, but Kifli day is special for me.
Julie, I hope this helps and I hope you give this a try. If you don't make them for Christmas, do them for Easter.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Kolaczki cookies are a traditional Polish cream cheese cookie. The cookie dough almost mimics a pastry and is filled with a variety of fillings such as apricot, prune, cherry, almond, poppy seed, and more!
I had never tasted or even heard of a kolaczki cookie until I met my husband. Every holiday season his mother makes these traditional polish cream cheese cookies and they are divine. His family is not Polish themselves, but his parents grew up on the south side of Chicago and these cookies were popular in the area.
In researching this cookie I learned that there are many different spellings including kolaczki, kolachky, kolachy, and kolacky. But however you spell it, the cookie starts with a cream cheese dough that is rolled out and filled with all kinds of fillings.
WHY THESE COOKIES ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY COOKIES…
The dough requires very few ingredients
They taste like a fancy pastry, but are much easier to make!
One batch makes a lot of cookies- perfect for sharing or putting in a cookie tin!
The assembly process is best done with a crowd! Make them with kids or other friends and family!

From Tika’s Cookbook
Kiffles
A kender favorite, these are also known as “Traveling Kiffles” for the fact that when the kender cook sets the dough out to chill it is often absentmindedly carried off by another kender. The dough and resultant pastry may go through several households in this way until the kiffles are finally baked. As they are immediately shared with everyone in the vicinity, no one really minds.
Pastry:
8 ounces softened cream cheese
1/2 pound softened butter
2 cups flour
Filling:
1 cup fruit preserves or jam
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Mix preserves into cornstarch until smooth and thick; set aside. Cream butter and cheese together until smooth and well blended. Add flour a little at a time; mix until smooth. Refrigerate dough in a tightly covered container for 2 hours or overnight. (Either keep a strict eye on it or prohibit kender from entering your dwelling!)
After dough is hardened, use a floured rolling pin and surface to roll it less than 1/4 inch thick; cut into 3-inch circles. Transfer circles onto ungreased cookie sheets at least 1 inch apart. Spoon a teaspoon of filling into the center of each cookie, being careful not to get any near the edges. Fold circle in half and seal edges together by pressing them with the tips of fork tines ¼ inch into the cookie.
Bake at 400 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes, until pastry is light golden brown. Makes 5 dozen.
