HUNGARIAN KIFFLES

Steps:

• Beat butter and cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer until pale yellow and creamy. Gradually add 2 cups flour to butter mixture until the dough is too thick for the mixer. Stir remaining 2 cups flour into the butter mixture by hand and knead until dough falls off hands easily. Roll dough into a ball, place in bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Stir walnuts and sugar together in a bowl. Pour milk into walnut mixture and stir to form a paste.
• Turn dough onto a floured work surface and roll to desired thickness. Cut dough into 2-inch squares. Place about 1 teaspoon walnut filling in the center of each square. Roll the dough from 1 corner to the other corner around the walnut filling and transfer to a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

KIFLE

Steps:

• 1. Combine sour cream & boiling water in small bowl. Stir in the dry yeast; let stand 3 minutes. Stir until yeast is completely dissolved; set aside.
• 2. Place butter & 1/2 cup flour into a large bowl. Add sour cream mixture & beat 1 min. @ LOW speed. Add egg yolks & 1/4 cup flour; beat 1 min. @ MEDIUM speed. Stir in enough additional flour to make a soft dough.
• 3. Knead dough on floured board (I use my KA stand mixer) for 8-10 minutes. Divide dough into 3 equal portions. Wrap each in wax paper and chill AT LEAST 2 hours or UP TO 5 DAYS.
• 4. Combine nuts, sugar and vanilla; fold in egg whites. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease cookie sheets or spray with cooking spray.
• 5. Roll each portion of dough on a board dusted with powdered sugar, rolling to a 10" circle. Cut each circle into 12 wedges; top the wide end with filling and roll up; place on greased baking sheets with the point underneath.
• 6. Bake @ 375°F for 20 minutes, or until golden. Remove from pans and put on wire racks, immediately sprinkling cookies with powdered sugar. Also, you can opt to use a powdered sugar frosting drizzled over when cookies are completely cooled.
