The historical origins of Ukrainian kiflyky are debatable. They first appeared in the 12th century. Some cite Turkey as their true homeland hence the interesting shape of the cookie reminiscent of the Islamic crescent. Others point to Austria where similar pastries were known as kipferl. Still others swear by the Carpathian Mountains as the birthplace of these short crust cookies. Ukrainians are convinced that kiflyky are their own or at least their recipe can be found in every local housewife’s cookbook.
