Re: Has anyone made this cookie?

From the Wikipedia page for Kifli:

"There are a couple of sweet rolls that carry the name "kifli" to describe their shape but they are eaten at the end of a meal or with an afternoon tea or coffee and have nothing to do with kifli which, if the word is used on its own, always means the regular or fine varieties described above.

- vaníliás kifli is a small soft cookie made from a dough of ground nuts, instead of flour. It is usually made with walnuts but almonds are more often used outside of Hungary. Once baked they are rolled in vanilla flavored confectioners' sugar before allowed to cool.

- diós kifli, mákos kifli, also known as Pozsonyi kifli (Pozsony is the Hungarian name of Bratislava, capital city of the Slovak Republic) are crescent-shaped sweet leavened pastries filled with a sweet walnut or poppy paste. They are a variety of beigli, very similar in flavor but different in shape and size."

So, it sounds like it's the second thing there.

Well, not exactly, the Poszonyi kifli seem a lot more like the walnut pastries I remember from when we still had a Serbian bakery in my neighborhood. The proprietor called them walnut horns, and they were the closest thing to my Nana's walnut bread I'd ever had apart from Nana's kitchen. What I grew up calling "nut bread" was beigli, which like the Poszonyi kifli is a sweet yeasted egg bread with a ground walnut filling. But Nana's kifli were more like a crumbly cookie.

I eentuAlly googled "kifli cookies" and found a recipe that looks just like them.

Thank you, though!
