Mohn kichel
Mohn kichel, also known as mon kichel, or poppy seed kichel, is an Ashkenazi Jewish cookie made with poppy seeds. Mohn kichel were popular among the inhabitants of the shtetl, as they were more economical to make than other Jewish cookies such as rugelach. Despite its similar name, mohn kichel bears little resemblance to the light, airy and crisp kichel to whom it is similarly baked, as mohn kichel is generally thin, crisp, and rectangular-shaped.
