Kiflyky (Crescent Cookies)
Report
Kiflyky are delicate crescent-shaped cookies made from a soft, moist dough of wheat flour, sour cream, and butter, filled with black currant jam. Rolled thin and cut into small squares, each pastry is spread with jam, rolled into crescents, and baked until lightly browned. A dusting of powdered sugar after baking adds sweetness and a final touch to these tender, fruity cookies.
Description
The dough for Kiflyky is prepared by blending cold butter into sifted flour until crumbly, then sour cream is gradually incorporated to form a soft, elastic dough that may be refrigerated for a couple of hours to rest. It is then divided and rolled out thinly on a floured surface, cut into roughly 2.5-inch squares. Each square gets a brush of black currant jam before being rolled corner to corner and shaped into a crescent. The cookies are baked on parchment paper in a hot oven until the edges are lightly golden. As they cool, they are sprinkled with powdered sugar, complementing the tart jam filling. The resulting cookies have a tender crumb with a moist center thanks to the jam.
