KOSSUTH KIFLI (HUNGARIAN CAKEY COOKIE AKA HALF MOONS)
Another one my grandmom used to make and no one has the recipe. After hours of searching the web, I finally found it (I didn't even know the name before!). This version is from Linda Paul, who won a Christmas cookie contest in Minneapolis with them.
