HUNGARIAN KIFLI I
These cookies need time to make as the dough needs to cool and "rest" for several hours. They are worth the effort.

KOSSUTH KIFLI (HUNGARIAN CAKEY COOKIE AKA HALF MOONS)
Another one my grandmom used to make and no one has the recipe. After hours of searching the web, I finally found it (I didn't even know the name before!). This version is from Linda Paul, who won a Christmas cookie contest in Minneapolis with them.

HUNGARIAN KIFLI (CHRISTMAS COOKIES) WITH DATES
I woke up a few mornings ago thinking about a special Christmas cookie we used to make using my Hungarian grandmother's recipe. I could remember the cookie, but not the name. Thanks to Facebook (who knew a friend in Cabo had a friend in Hungary!) I got the name but an internet search didn't come up with something exactly like I remembered. I took the closest, which used raisins, and came up with this which is EXACTLY as I remembered, but much easier. NOTE: if you like the filling you might want to make about 1.3 times the amount to overstuff your Kifli. If there's any left over roll it into balls, cover with sugar and call it a truffle. Hope someone out there enjoys this!

Steps:
- For the dough: mix butter, cream cheese and flour in food processor. Split into two balls, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- For the filling: Mix all ingredients in food processor, let stand at room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove the dough from refrigerator, roll out on floured cutting board, cut into about 2 inch squares. Put about one teaspoon filling onto each square. Roll diagonally, then crimp in the middle to make a crescent. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Sprinkle with powdered sugar as soon as removed from oven.
- All of the recipes I searched agreed that letting the dough rest overnight is key to getting it nice and flaky.
- Enjoy!

MáKOS KIFLI (HUNGARIAN POPPY SEED CRESCENTS) KIPFLI / KIP
Traditional Hungarian Christmas cookies or just nice for breakfast in the morning with coffee. The filling can also be used for kolach. These are very good, but fairly labor intensive. We usually make these over two days, making the dough up the first day and refrigerating overnight, then assembling and baking the next day. We also usually have one person roll them out while 2 or 3 people finish assembling them, so it goes much faster.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, cream butter and egg yolks; add sour cream and extract.
- Mix in flour; mix until smooth.
- Gather dough into a ball.
- Turn out onto lightly floured surface.
- With palms of hands, shape dough into a smooth roll.
- Slice dough into 48 pieces (if dough is too soft and sticky to handle, chill for a short time).
- Roll each piece into a ball (about the size of a walnut).
- Can be refrigerated overnight at this point.
- In a heavy 1 1/2 qt saucepan, combine all filling ingredients and mix together.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until mixture is slightly thickened (5 minutes).
- Remove from heat and cool.
- Filling should be smooth and easy to spread, if on standing it thickens too much, stir in a little milk.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Lightly sprinkle work surface with flour or powdered sugar.
- Roll one dough ball out at a time into a circle 1/16-inch thick.
- Place 1-2 teaspoons of filling in the middle of each circle.
- Gently lifting nearest edge, roll over to cover filling (continuing to roll so that the dough overlaps on the bottom); pinch the ends slightly around the filling and shape into a crescent by curving the ends in slightly.
- Place crescent onto lightly greased cookie sheet so that the overlapped side remains on the bottom.
- In this way, make crescents from each of the remaining dough balls, sprinkling the work surface lightly between each cookie.
- Bake until lightly browned 10-15 minutes; remove to cooling racks.
- When cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
