Ingredients for Hungarian Kiffles
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fruit preserves (such as apricot, raspberry, or nut filling)

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until the dough forms a ball.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Once you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 3-inch squares.
- Place a small spoonful of your choice of fruit preserves in the center of each square. Fold the corners over the filling to form a triangle and pinch to seal.
- Place the kiffles on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Once done, allow to cool for a few minutes, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
