Kolachys

These traditional Eastern European cookies are made with cream cheese and pureed prunes. I found this recipe here Essential-Baker. The dough is definitely a challenge I had problems rolling it out to 12 inches wide. I ended up rolling the dough into cylinderical shape, put it back into the fridge to harden a bit then cut it up into rings and then rolled out a bit and filled it. I also noticed I had to bake the cookies a little longer than what was stated in the book. Initially when I took the dough out of the fridge after chilling for 12 hours the dough was quite hard. Once taken out from the refrigerator it doesn't take long to soften and dough can be quite sticky and difficult to handle. The end result the cookies are great! Hubby loves it and so do I.
