Kolaches (or Kolacky) – We Love God!

Often those who are really bound in the sin of cynicism demonstrate all of these unpleasant traits. These traits are super easy to observe in others either through one’s critical comments or glum facial expressions. They see the glass always half full. They are the princes of pessimism. They crush any excitement in a room. They destroy morale in any team. They major on the negative. They are quick to see the worst. Whenever they want to meet, it’s always problem related. They squash good ideas and the potential from others. They are grumpy. They complain about everything. They are the party of “no.” They have a problem with everyone and everything. They are experts at discovering everybody’s flaws except their own. They stand as the self-appointed judges of the world and measure others by their own standards of righteousness. And they often look as friendly as a rattlesnake.

INSTRUCTIONS

These are very simple, but you will find NO better cookie anywhere!  On
the down side, they do require advanced preparation (overnight is
best). Included are a couple of filling recipes, but a can of  pre-made
will work too. (Apricot is best)   When rolling out dough,  try to keep
it as chilled as possible. To cream the cottage cheese,  it helps if
you have a food processor or blender, but a fork and a  strong arm will
do in a pinch. Mix ingredients and chill at least 6  hours. Roll to
1/4" thickness. Cut into 2 or 3 inch squares, and  place filling or
preserves in center of square. Bring corners over  filling and seal
together. Bake at 350 - 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and  dust with
powdered sugar. Pineapple Filling: Combine ingredients in  sauce pan,
cook stirring constantly until thickened. Cool. Apricot  Filling:
Simmer apricot 10 minutes. Add sugar and simmer 10 minutes  more.
Remove from heat and add butter and cinnamon. Cool.  From Gemini's
