Kiflyky Cookies (Crescent Cookies)

Kiflyky (crescent cookies)

The historical origin of Ukrainian kiflyky is debatable. They first appeared in the 12th century. Some cite Turkey as their real homeland, hence the interesting cookie shape that reminds one of the Muslim crescent. Others refer to Austria, where similar pastries were known as kipferl. Still others swear by the Carpathian region as the site where these short crust cookies were born. Ukrainians are confident kiflyky are theirs, at least their recipe may be found in every local homemaker’s cookbook.

Crunchy but light, these dainties may be filed with plums, nuts, poppyseeds, and whatever, really. Regardless of what is inside, they just melt in your mouth, one after another.

Kiflyky hold the position of French croissants in Ukrainian cuisine, and that’s for a reason. Check them out yourself.
