Very good. I never had any of the preserves running-all-over problems that I've read some people have with these. Though this is probably the standard, authentic Polish recipe, I will revise recipe next time by making a sweetened cream cheese mixture that I spread on each cookie before adding the preserves. Will do this for my husband's and my taste. We each agreed that we'd like them to be a sweeter cookie. Also, I used lemon curd along with my raspberry preserves. Twas fantastic. Next time I will make some lemon curd kolaches without the added raspberry preserves. Judging by what the ones I made tasted like, I think the lemon curd ones will end up being our favorites. I'll try to remember to come back here and report how it all turns out. Oh, by the way, I also made apricot/pineapple preserve kolaches. They were yummy also.

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!

I made these for the holiday cookie tray and forgot to review. They were even better than the ones my in-laws bring home from the Polish deli in Chicago! The real test was when my husband's Polish grandma tried one and proclaimed it to be "the real deal". I used Polaner All-Fruit strawberry jam, but I would like to try other flavors next time too. These will definitely be appearing on the cookie tray every year from now on. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe, Elmotoo!
