Kiffles image

I started making these jam-filled half-moon cookies in college to keep me energized while I studied, and I still make them as a special treat for my friends every holiday. They are a bit labor-intensive, but very much worth the work.

Time 1h45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup strawberry jam
2 teaspoons cornstarch, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Beat butter and cream cheese together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Stir 1/2 the flour into creamed butter mixture until incorporated; mix in remaining flour until dough is just combined. Refrigerate dough until chilled, at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Stir jam and cornstarch together in a small bowl until cornstarch is dissolved and jam is slightly thickened.
  • Turn dough onto a floured work surface and roll into 1/4-inch thickness. Cut dough into 3-inch circles using a cookie cutter or the rim of a coffee mug. Spoon about 1 teaspoon jam down the center of each circle. Fold dough circles in half and crimp edges together using a fork. Arrange folded dough on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are golden brown, about 15 minutes.

These kiffles were a little dry for my taste. I think I might add a little more butter or oil to the dough next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my kiffles turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.

These kiffles were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved them. I'll probably try making them again with less sugar next time.
