Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1. Mix poppy seeds, walnuts, egg and honey. Add in rum till the consistency seems soft, like porridge. Drink remaining rum, you deserve it, since you'll be baking for a while.
  2. 2. Using an egg beater at low, whip soft cream cheese and butter till it forms peaks, like a frosting (you may need to heat the butter if the cream cheese is hard). Fold in flour slowly using a wooden spoon or possibly pastry fork.
  3. 3. Roll dough into 3 balls. Occasionally add in lowfat milk to dough to keep it from drying out. The dough can be refrigerated for 1-2 hrs, but it is not necessary.
  4. 4. Roll out 1 ball at a time and flour lightly. Roll dough out in flour or possibly granulated sugar so it doesn't stick.
  5. 5. Mom's method: Cut dough into squares or possibly circles using cookie or possibly biscuit cutter. Add in about a tsp. of filling. Roll squares into "logs",
  6. "stars", or possibly "pinwheels". Fold circles over and seal with a fork. This takes dexterity and patience, sooooo I invented.
  7. 6. Mike's Shortcut: Take rolled dough and make into strips about a foot long and 2" wide. Place a ribbon of filling in the middle. Fold over dough and healthy pinch to seal at all sides. Cut into 1" squares.
  8. 7. Dip into coating and place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 375F for 10-15 min or possibly till lightly browned.
  9. There is sufficient sugar and fat to keep the bottoms from sticking to a clean pan.
  10. Hide in the bedroom and eat these with lowfat milk till sick.(Especially if you are six years old.)
  11. Note: The kolatki are delicate, and fancy shapes require speed and skill. They taste as good using my method. My mother thinks I am impatient. Once you have eaten these cookies, you will understand why.
