'''Kichel''' ({{lang-yi|קיכל}}, plural '''kichlach''' {{lang|yi|קיכלעך}}, the diminutive of {{lang|yi|קוכן}} ''kukhn'' "cake") is a slightly sweet [[Cracker (food)|cracker]] or [[cookie]] in [[Jewish cuisine]] made with eggs, flour, and sugar rolled out flat and cut into large bowtie shapes.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Nathan|first=Joan|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=38xF7g37ZT0C&dq=kichels+%22joan+nathan%22&pg=PA100|title=Joan Nathan's Jewish Holiday Cookbook|date=2011-01-12|publisher=Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group|isbn=978-0-307-77785-0|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Levi|first=Yona|date=2019-12-15|title=Is Kichel a Cracker or a Cookie?|url=https://www.aish.com/j/fs/Is-Kichel-a-Cracker-or-a-Cookie.html|access-date=2021-03-01|website=aishcom|language=en}}</ref>
Commercially prepared kichel are thick, bow-tie shaped pastries sprinkled with sugar.<ref>[https://www.myjewishlearning.com/the-nosher/kichels-recipe-jewish-bow-tie-cookies/ Kichels Recipe: Jewish Bow Tie Cookies]</ref>
Although sweet they are sometimes eaten with a savoury dip or topping. Jews in South Africa serve kichel with [[Vorschmack|chopped herring]]. Due to their light, airy nature, the cookies are sometimes been called "nothings." When prepared with matzah meal rather than flour, kichlach can be consumed during the [[Passover]] holiday.▼
