Steps:
- Prepare Fillings and topping desired and set aside until ready to use.

- Add butter, then flour which has been dissolved in a little bit of water.
- Cook, stirring constantly until poppyseed is done, at least 30 minutes.
- Allow to cool before use.
- Leftover filling can be frozen.
- For Cabbage Filling Fry the cabbage in the butter until soft.
- Add the salt, black pepper, sugar and flour, and fry until golden brown, being careful not to burn.

- Add 1 1/2 cups sugar or more to taste and mash with a potato masher until well blended.
- Filling for about 2 dozen kolaches.
- For Cottage Cheese Filling Mix all ingredients together until blended.
- If cheese is too moist, add very finely rolled crackers, about 10 or 12 to absorb liquid.
- If using country-style cottage cheese, cream cheese can be omitted or used for added flavor, according to taste.
- If using cottage cheese as a filling, be sure to enclose cheese in the dough.
- Spread dough balls out, place cheese in the middle and pinch all sides together to seal completely.
- Place sealed side down on the greased pan and butter the pastry.

KOLACHKY
My father and grandparents were born in Czechoslovakia. I use to watch my grandmother make these small pastries at Christmas time and I couldn't wait to eat them when she was all done. I do hope you will enjoy this recipe as much as I do. You will need a large area to work.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese and butter until well blended. I like to use my hands, but you can also use a wooden spoon. Mix in the flour 1 cup at a time. As the dough becomes stiff, turn it out onto the counter and knead in flour until it is no longer sticky. Continue to knead the dough for 5 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Crush the walnuts to a fine consistency in a food processor. Stir in the egg and honey. On a well floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into 3x3 inch squares. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each square. Use walnut for some and poppyseed for the rest. Roll the squares up and seal the edges. These can also be formed into triangles. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Brush with egg white.
- Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned. When cool, dust with confectioners' sugar.

KOLACHKIES BY LADY ROSE
The first time I made these flakey and delicate cookies, I thought the recipe had an error in it, since there was no sugar in the recipe. I had never made a cookie without sugar, and where I had lived in Arkansas we had never heard of a Kolachkie, but a coworker shared this recipe with me more than 40 years ago now, and it has...

Steps:
- 1. Cream butter with cream cheese until light and creamy and well mixed.Gradually add flour and beat until it is real creamy. I beat at least 15 to 20 minutes until the mixture looks like the texture of ice cream.
- 2. Remove from bowl, and chill till dough is really cold. I usually refrigerate it over night and make the next day. I have also placed it in the freezer for a quick cool method. But prefer to let it sit over night in fridge.
- 3. Break off a medium size portion, and roll on floured wax paper. Cut out with a shot glass. Make a thumb print in center and fill with about 1/2 teaspoon of solo filling. Place on buttered cookie sheet or use cooking spray Bake in Preheated 400 degrees oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Please note cookies do not get real brown. Dust immediately with powdered sugar while still warm and again before serving. Remove to cooling rack to cool completely.
- 4. My personal prefrence to make these cookies is to pinch off a small amount of cookie dough, shape into a small ball, roll in floured hands, then press flat between both palms, and then place on greased cookie sheet. Make a thumb print in center of cookie and fill with fruit filling. Just seems easier for me, but which ever method is easier for you.
APPLE KOLACHES
A fellow home cook shared this recipe for a sweet, fruit-filled pastry. My son, who isn't a dessert fan, was disappointed when he came home to find his dad had polished off the last kolache in the batch. -Ann Johnson, Evansville, Indiana

Steps:
- In a large bowl blend margarine and cream cheese together, by hand with a metal spoon. Slowly add flour until it is all incorporated and a dough is formed. The dough will be soft and sticky. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put in refrigerator overnight, or for several hours (until hard to the touch).
- Flour the countertop. Take a handful of dough out of bowl returning the unused portion to the refrigerator (continue this process until all mixture is used). Roll handful of dough out into an approximately 1/4-inch thickness. Take a 2 by 3-inch diamond shaped cookie cutter, and cut as many diamonds as possible (size of kolachky should be two bites, so the cutter cannot be large). Take leftover dough and roll out again, cutting more diamonds. Repeat until all the dough is used.
- Place the diamond cut out onto the palm of hand. Put a 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of fruit filling (apricot or strawberry or raspberry or prune flavors) into the center of the diamond shape.
- Dip your finger in a little bit of water, put on one side of diamond. Fold lengthwise and seal the tops of the kolachky together to create a 3-dimensional diamond shape. Place on cookie sheets and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 to12 minutes.
- DO NOT USE Super heat cookie sheets or any of the new non-stick coated cookie sheets. They will bake too quickly and burn the bottoms of the kolachky before you realize it. YOU MUST USE ANY KIND OF CHEAP COOKIE SHEETS usually bought at a grocery store. Cover the cookie sheet with foil or parchment paper. Do not grease the foil.
- Look at your kolachky every few minutes, while baking, as ovens vary in heat distribution. The later batches may cook faster than the first ones. Check the BOTTOMS of the kolachkys. They are done when the BOTTOMS are soft golden brown. The tops may not look done, but they ARE! Remove from oven, wait 3 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack. When ready to serve, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
PEANUT CLUSTERS & KOLACHKIES DESSERT TRAY
All three of the desserts on this tray are in my SELF PUBLISHED cookbook OF 795 RECIPES, but I can only fit 2 of the recipes on one page. I will add the Chocolate chip cookie recipe in a separate recipe page. Both recipes are so easy and very tasty. There is never any left, after the party, or if there are, they ask to take some home, I am very happy to share. The peanut clusters are so easy to make, I often package in small zip lock bags and store in the freezer. The Kolachkies are very flakey, and all but melt in your mouth when you bite into one. They are awesome in flavor & taste.

Steps:
- PEANUT CLUSTERS:Melt almond bark & chips in microwave until smooth. Start with 3 minutes, then stir, if more time is needed, do in 30 second increments. Cool for 10 minutes. Stir in peanuts.
- Drop by tablespoons into baking cups, or use aluminum foil on a large sheet tray. Refrigerate until firm, about 45 minutes. Makes 9 to 10 dozen pieces. MAY ALSO CUT RECIPE IN HALF.
- KOLACHKIES: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cream butter with cream cheese till thourgly mixed, and then add flour. Mix well till texture is creamy and smooth. Chill well or over night.
- Roll out on floured wax paper; cut out with shot glass. Make thumb print in center and fill with solo filling. Use flavor of your choice. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Dust immediately with powdered sugar, and dust again before serving.
- NOTE: There is NO SUGAR in this recipe. The first time I made this recipe, I thought it was a mistake, because at the time I had never made a cookie without sugar. That was more than 35 years ago. I have been making & enjoying this recipe ever since with friends and family.
KOLACHKIES
Steps:
- Combine butter, softened cream cheese and sugar, mixing until well blended. Add combined dry ingredients; mix well. Knead ten to fifteen times to form stiff dough; chill. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness; cut into squares with a knife, about 2-3 inches across, depending on what size you want your cookies to be when finished. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and add about a teaspoon or so of the preserves. Fold two opposite corners to the middle so that they overlap and cover the preserves. Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes. Sprinkle lightly with confectioners' sugar, if desired. Makes about 5 dozen. I have a note in my cookbook that I baked them at 325 for 12 minutes using the stove we had as our house in Seale, AL. So, you know I've had this recipe a while. Actually, I've had this book since before I ever met Ed. I think we made these when I lived with Carol the year before I met Ed. That would have been 1981. I just checked the copyright and it's 1977, so I bought this book when I was in college. So, this is a tried and true recipe!
