My mom started making them with an walnut and honey filling when she got the recipe from my Great Grandmother (that was totally frowned upon!) I make them now and we live in the Pacific Northwest and huckleberries and marionberries are big here, so I make the traditional apricot along with the others for my family. No walnut filling, I wouldn't want my greatgrandma turning in her grave! I love that these old recipes are still around for people to see!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06722572766535256889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733407502833428125.post-14801324633498211442016-11-25T05:53:57.777-08:002016-11-25T05:53:57.777-08:00Sorry to be getting back to you so late!

I have been sealing them with a dab of milk and pinching them tightly. I still have some dough in the fridge waiting for test baking #2. I wonder if putting the cookies back into the refrigerator and chilling them a bit after assembling them would help? What do you suggest I try now?

I have done a little research online and asked around and found that you can both freeze them before baking (it's OK to bake them without thawing) or after baking (some suggest warming them again slightly after thawing to return the crispiness). I have not done it myself as they are usually half gone before the rest are done baking, but I hope one of these techniques works well for you!Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01765393759306277549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733407502833428125.post-57174609957203084272015-03-30T08:39:58.615-07:002015-03-30T08:39:58.615-07:00Can you make these a head of time and freeze them?...Can you make these a head of time and freeze them?

When I looked it up on Yahoo! all I seem to find is a recipe with sour cream in it and nuts. On Google, it's virtually the exact same recipe! They do seem to have a similar appearance in the end. Hmmm... I do know that some people make kolaches with nuts instead of jam. Perhaps it's a regional name for a similar cookie. Kolache is a Polish name, while Kiflies seems to be Hungarian. At any rate, they're delicious, right?!Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01765393759306277549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733407502833428125.post-40830005571215439122012-09-01T09:15:05.006-07:002012-09-01T09:15:05.006-07:00Thought these were kifles?Thought these were kifles?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733407502833428125.post-71682666926230245792011-12-07T09:27:36.482-08:002011-12-07T09:27:36.482-08:00Thanks, Andrea!Thanks, Andrea!Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01765393759306277549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733407502833428125.post-16938812574477937862011-12-05T18:15:35.759-08:002011-12-05T18:15:35.759-08:00These look perfect for the holidaysThese look perfect for the holidaysAndreahttp://questfordelish.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733407502833428125.post-5855888451021532872011-12-05T16:10:03.907-08:002011-12-05T16:10:03.907-08:00It's amazing how fast Cara and I can veer a po...It's amazing how fast Cara and I can veer a post off the rails! =)Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01765393759306277549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733407502833428125.post-6867231950372285582011-12-05T16:04:35.322-08:002011-12-05T16:04:35.322-08:00I love how the rap references made it in to these ...I love how the rap references made it in to these comments.
