Yield 64 Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 17

Dough:
8 Oz. Cream cheese
1 Cup Butter
3 Egg Yolks
2 Cups Flour
1 Cup (approx.) Confectioner's Sugar
Traditional Fillings:
Finely Chopped Walnuts or
Shredded Coconut or
Chopped Dates
Alternative Fillings (dry ones work best):
Chocolate Chips
Marzipan
Dried Cherries
Dried Apricot
Dried Cranberries & Orange Zest
Raisins

Steps:

  • Cream together cream cheese and butter. Add egg and mix thoroughly. Mix in flour. This is a pretty thick dough. Cut into 8 balls of equal size. Cover and chill until firm - 4 hours or overnight. (Note: this dough must be worked quickly and while cold. A chilled counter surface and/or rolling pin help considerably. If dough becomes to warm to work with, simply cover & re-chill.) Roll out each ball very thin (about 1/8 an inch) in a liberal amount of confectioner's sugar. Cut as you would a pizza into 8 equal-sized wedges. Place a large pinch of filling of your choice on the wide end of each wedge. Roll up, folding in the sides until the filling is sealed in completely. Be sure to place each cookie with the point side down, and press gently onto ungreased cookie sheet, otherwise they will unfurl while baking. Bake at 350ยบ until golden brown (watch closely), about 9 minutes.

These kiffles were delicious! The filling was creamy and sweet, and the pastry was flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making these again.

I've tried making these kiffles several times, but I can never seem to get them right. The dough is always too sticky or too dry.

These kiffles were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I will try adding a little more butter to the dough next time.

I had a lot of trouble getting the dough to the right consistency. It was too sticky at first, and then it became too dry. I finally got it to work, but it took a lot of trial and error.

These kiffles were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I will try making them with less sugar next time.
