Grandma's Kolachy

Submitted by Baseball Mom 5

"These are a family favorite made by our Great Grandma Irene. Since her passing, I have tried my best to carry on the tradition of making these and think it is only appropriate to share her recipe so a great piece of her will live on. Don't be intimitated by the prep time. That includes the chilling of the dough."
