Yield about 70 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

Dough:
1/2 lb butter
1/2 lb cottage cheese, small curd
2 cups sifted flour
Apricot filling:
Dried apricots - about 1 cup
Sugar - about 2-3 tbsp
Honey-Nut filling:
Walnuts, finely chopped - about 1/2 cup
Honey - 1-2 tbsp
Powdered (confectioner's) sugar

Steps:

  • One or two days prior to baking, prepare dough. Cut butter into small pieces and mix with cottage cheese. Add flour gradually and mix until homogeneous. Roll out dough on a floured pastry board into a rectangle measuring about 8 x 15 inches. Fold dough into thirds to make rectangle 8 x 5 inches. Turn rectangle 90˚ and roll out again into large rectangle; fold again in thirds. Chill dough in refrigerator overnight. Next day, repeat the above rolling, folding and turning at least two more times (the more times the flakier the resulting cookies). Chill again for at least 4 hours. Prepare cookie fillings. Stew dried apricots with sugar and water on stovetop in small saucepan for about 15-20 until thick. Use as little water as feasible. Chop walnuts into small pieces and mix with honey try not to use too much honey, but enough to allow nuts to stick together well. When ready to bake, cut dough into thirds and roll each one in turn to a thin rectangular layer. Cut into strips about 3 inches wide. From each strip cut triangles of about 3 inches per side. Take each triangle and roll out thinner. Then place 1/4 tsp (or less) apricot or honey-nut filling at base of triangle then roll toward apex. Dip finger into small bowl of water and moisten apex slightly to help it seal when rolled up. Place cookie on wet baking sheet with apex on bottom of roll and then shape into crescent. Fill sheet with rows of cookies then bake at 375˚ until golden brown in color, about 10(?) minutes. Remove cookies from sheet promptly and place on cooling rack. When cookies have cooled, sprinkle with powdered sugar. If cookies are served next day, you may sprinkle them again before serving.

These kipfels were a bit too labor-intensive for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The dough was a bit dry. I had to add extra butter to make it workable.

These kipfels were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I've been making kipfels for years, and this recipe is by far the best. The dough is so light and flaky, and the filling is perfectly sweet and creamy.
