These sweet pastries have Polish and Czech roots and can also be spelled "kolaches." They are usually filled with poppy seeds, nuts, jam or a mashed fruit mixture. The ice cream is a unique twist on traditional kolachkes, and it's simplest to use a square cookie cutter to cut the dough. —Diane Turner, Brunswick, Ohio

Holiday Star French Toast from Sweet Paul Magazine I get a little giddy when a new issue of the Sweet Paul Magazine comes out. The content is always amazing. It rivals the best inspirational magazines out there, and it is F-R-E-E to view online. My favorite! And in this issue it only took me until page 10 to fall head over heals with an idea. Holiday French toast. The recipe looks delicious and I LOVE that they use cookie cutters to dress it up for Christmas. It would be perfect for a 4th of July breakfast too, with a few blueberries and rasberries to give it a little patriotic color. You can get the holiday French toast recipe on page 10 of the Winter issue of Sweet Paul.

I have mentioned my cookie-cutter collection elsewhere, and knowing of children's predilection for the grosser things in life, how could I resist — when given a set of foot-shaped cutters by a friend back from New York — making some suitable cheese-tasting biscuits with them. Naturally, they went down a storm. I've been tempted to serve them with drinks for grown-ups (as, actually, they taste fabulous) but am worried that the mixture between yucky and cute might not play so well there. I wouldn't want to embarrass myself, you do see. And please read the Additional Information section at the end of the recipe before proceeding. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.

This is a kolache. It's pronounced Ko-Lahtch-Key. It is awesome. Like beyond awesome. And you cover it with sugar until it looks like snow! Traditionally, you would use apricot jam, but strawberry or raspberry make it so pretty for Christmas. I used the tayberry I bought from Blue Cottage Jams. And if you don't care what color it is, blackberry is great, too. Basically, put jam on it. It'll make you happy. Jam Kolaches 1/2 C butter, softened 1 sm package ( 3oz) cream cheese, softened 1 1/4 C flour 1/4 C strawberry (or other) jam 1/4 C confectioner's sugar Cream butter and cheese in a medium bowl. Beat until fluffy. Add flour, then mix well. Roll dough to 1/8 inch thickness on lightly floured surface. Cut with 2 inch round cutter. Place 2 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet. Spoon 1/4 tsp jam on each cookie. Fold opposite sides together. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes. Cool completely on wire racks and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. Yield about 2 dozen Tips: I used a square fondant cutter to cut the shapes, but you can use a round biscuit cutter or even a glass if it's all you have. If you're having trouble getting the sides to stick together, a little water or milk applied by fingertip should do the trick. Review: These are crispy and melty and light. Not too sweet. You will wonder where they have been all your life. Just ask Cara at Fork and Beans! She has made a gluten-free vegan version for our joint venture. Go and see it! UPDATE!! Hi guys!
