Czechoslovakian Kolache image

My Czechoslovakian grandmother made kolache. They used to be made with shortening but it is healthier to use canola oil or butter. Czechoslovakian Kolache are sweet yeast rolls with fruit or cream cheese filling that are served for Easter and holidays. For Thanksgiving you can use a package of cranberries to make a fruit...

The kolaches were good, but I think I overcooked them a bit. They were a little too brown.

These kolaches were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some more butter to the dough next time.

The kolaches were a bit too sweet for my taste, but other than that they were great.

OMG, these kolaches were absolutely delightful! The dough was so soft and fluffy, and the fillings were perfectly sweet and flavorful. I especially loved the poppy seed filling, it was so nutty and rich.
