    These were so easy to make and looked so pretty when we finished! I let my daughters help me make them. One spread the jam and the other rolled the edges together. We had such a fun time making and eating these! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

    They taste good but I had trouble getting the dough to stick together. I think it needs to be wetter to work better. But it still tasted good and worked out okay.

    I buy these at a Polish bakery for my mom. Apricot and raspberry filling are her favorite so I used those flavors of jam. The dough is a bit tricky to work with but when you taste these cookies you will love them! I spread a bit of water on the dough to help make a better seal. Great recipe Bethie!

    I made these for our very first Polish Christmas Eve (Wigilia) this year. My family is Polish and many of my Great Grandmother's recipes were never written down and are lost forever. It was truly a treat to find this fabulous traditional recipe for our holiday meal. We thoroughly enjoyed them and will be making them again in the future. I particularly love them with a cup of hot tea. Many Thanks for sharing the recipe!
