The ready and cooled scallops are stuffed with a mixture of condensed milk, butter, and halved walnuts and coated in powdered sugar before serving. These pastry scallops are baked in a special mold (which you can easily get on Amazon). My grandma wouldn’t allow any major holiday to pass by without horishky, so it was our default cookie back in the day. The walnut shape of these cookies has become the most popular although I remember pine- and mushroom-shaped ones from my childhood too. I bet at least a few out of these 12 delicious Ukrainian cookies will become your go-to cookies.

You might also want to bake some of them yourself and treat your family and friends. If you ever visit the country, try these cookies in a coffeeshop or find them on supermarket shelves. Ukrainian cookie cuisine stands out due to rich but non-cloying taste and a nice balance of base and filling. From luscious cream-stuffed horns to mouthwatering sweet walnuts, Ukraine has quite a few delicious bite-size cookies to brighten up your day, make a nice company to your morning coffee, or impress your guests.
