The Chocolate Cookies called for Crisco, which I never use, but we decided to stay true to the recipe and indulge (I used the butter flavored sticks). I am sure you could substitute butter. They also called for a quick frosting- butter, milk, powdered sugar and vanilla, but I had leftover white chocolate buttercream from last week , so I warmed it up, added a little milk, and made it work.

What a great way to honor your Great Grandma. I hope my grandkids will make a few of my favorites even after I'm gone. My husband's grandma made kolackys also. She was Czech. They really are so pretty and yummy with the cream cheese dough and fruit. I love to make them at Christmas.
This looks delicious! I always love making my grandmother's recipes.nqmpr
These look delicious. Your photos are really looking great too!
Those pictures look gorgeous! What a wonderful way to remember your grand-mother...
Wowza, those cookies all look really delicious to me. Which is sad since I ate cookies all weekend and swore I would never want to eat another one...
But I think I would make the exception for these.
I love recipes from our loved ones. they are the best ones! These cookies look so fun and I bet they taste like a million bucks! Very nice post about your Great Grandma!
