The second batch I rolled almost paper thin and they came out perfect. The dough is pliable, so it won't tear or rip when rolled thin.<\/p>
-Don't overdo it on the filling. I used about a half teaspoon per cookie. If you fill them up too much, the seam will pop open.<\/p>
-I used a little water to seal each of the cookies. Just dip your finger in water and slide it across one edge of the cookie, fold and pinch together to seal.<\/p>
I skipped the glaze and just topped with confectioner's sugar. These can be made with lots of different fillings too!<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"12\/23\/2014 15:12","GUID":"b00fa208adbe483eac30ec5ff6349ccf","MemberId":8179151,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"kmott09","SubmittedDate":"12\/23\/2014 15:12"},{"Comment":"
After seeing all the great reviews for this recipe, and having all the ingredients in the house, I decided to make them. They were just okay. They were not even special enough to share with coworkers or neighbors. I ended up throwing most of them away.<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"10\/29\/2014 09:27","GUID":"7c80044407734c7ba646f95aba5c6b51","MemberId":7534634,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"JennatheBaker","SubmittedDate":"10\/29\/2014 09:27"},{"Comment":"
I have made other recipes for kolaches but this dough is my favorite. I filled my dough with various fruit and pecan fillings from Solo...very good. Also I flash froze them and then packaged them in a freezer proof container with wax paper separating the layers so that the fruit filling did not stick to each other. No problem making these ahead of time and freezing them.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"","GUID":"7acd9416f3784c83aa6eb642aec8aca3","MemberId":7714369,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Uhlsbakery","SubmittedDate":"03\/13\/2014 20:48"},{"Comment":"
This is AWESOME. Made it as a "trial" tonight for Thanksgiving, and it will be on the menu for sure! One question I have is: How far in advance can I make it? Can I make it Sunday night and freeze it til Thur? Thanks for any feedback, and thanks for the recipe!!<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"11\/13\/2012 21:07","GUID":"4343358c8a57442db1a6c35ab11757d9","MemberId":6968895,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Balensiefen","SubmittedDate":"11\/13\/2012 21:06"},{"Comment":"
22 Oct 2012: Made this recipe last night. Took my first bite, and I thought I was eating a little piece of Heaven...absolutely delicious. I used "Honeycrisp" apples. You must make this as soon as possible!<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"10\/22\/2012 10:36","GUID":"2e8ae4a0e89c4c33aba05739983da098","MemberId":6932546,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Carol L.

These were the bomb! I wish I had made more. So delicious, and soft and gooey on the inside. My mouth is watering just thinking about it again!<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"04\/21\/2011 18:53","GUID":"a227f48ce51c4e64ae8d4b08b6248f92","MemberId":1933498,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Kayla Sue","SubmittedDate":"09\/29\/2011 08:52"},{"Comment":"
Oh WOW, are these good. I put powder sugar on then instead of the frosting. I also used so strawberry jam for half, because my daughter loves strawberries.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"09\/28\/2011 14:11","GUID":"40e2233563b8410fb7cd2165d89a89f1","MemberId":6197065,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"dbljdblk","SubmittedDate":"09\/28\/2011 14:11"},{"Comment":"
MMMM. MMMMMM. MMMMMM! These were, just wow yummy. So moist, and using the homemade dough makes it phenomenal. We ate ours shortly after setting them on the rack. Their centers were so warm and, oh, just so good! Wish I could have made the whole recipe instead of just half.<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"04\/21\/2011 18:53","GUID":"a227f48ce51c4e64ae8d4b08b6248f92","MemberId":1933498,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Kayla Sue","SubmittedDate":"04\/21\/2011 18:54"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"12\/17\/2010 17:18","GUID":"324fc2df4cea416d89462fb6dd2b10da","MemberId":5707714,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"jacquelinejacobs","SubmittedDate":"12\/17\/2010 17:18"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"10\/23\/2010 07:56","GUID":"f83d2e4f6c704e7a957e9a4e9f96a1dc","MemberId":3945051,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"mellen24","SubmittedDate":"10\/23\/2010 07:56"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":309177,"name":"Recipes","slug":"recipes","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":309112,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Browse Taste Recipes recipes by course, cooking style, cuisine, ingredient, holiday and more categories to find a new family-favorite recipe.","parent":0,"count":51271,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/"},{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
