What is Hatay Külçesi?
Hatay Külçesi is a traditional spiced cookie from Hatay in southern Turkey, made with a dough flavored with walnuts and cinnamon. Recipes vary, but those ingredients give it a distinctive, warmly fragrant character.
Usually served with tea or coffee, it is also a familiar choice for sharing with guests and at festive gatherings. The cookie is sweet and gently crisp, with cinnamon’s warmth and the richer, slightly earthy taste of walnuts. For a less-heavy snack, enjoy a piece with fresh fruit or unsweetened tea rather than pairing it with another sweet.
Its flour-based dough makes it carbohydrate-rich, while walnuts contribute much of its fat; a 100 g portion provides 420 calories. A medium piece is about 40 g, so one can be a satisfying treat alongside a drink.
