Traditionally, I bake these for Christmas. A cross between sweet breads and cookies, they're also something that I have been asked to make for weddings. I'm a widow with two grown sons and five grandchildren. -Ruth Gilhousen, Knoxdale, Pennsylvania

My mother has made something similar to this recipe for years- called Hungarian Kiffels. She uses apricot jam for the filling, and cream cheese instead of cottage cheese in the cookie. They're very labor intensive since the dough needs to stay very chilled. She also cuts them into squares, folding in the sides to make diamonds, before dusting with egg whites and almonds. These are my favorite cookie she makes.
