Food / Kolaczki cookies [2]
Good day all, New to the forum, I want to make traditional kolaczki cookies for Christmas. I have some of my great grandmothers recipes but they are in Polish. Everyone has passed in my family that could have translated them. Since I am 63 and the recipe is from 1960. Before I was born but mom was pregnant with me. But I do remember all my aunts, mom grandma and great grandma would fill the kitchen baking and cooking for weeks. Most would speak Polish and as a kid with my 3 sisters and I couldn't understand them. LOL Also as we all know when mom and everyone was busy in the kitchen kids were told to go play. lol I remember the smells of baked goods till this day. So I bake Christmas cookies now but never did kolaczki's. This year I want to. Everyone recipe I see seems to be a modern one with cream cheese. I feel they didn't use cream cheese back then. I did find one with potato water and yeast cakes in the book I have "Treasured Polish Recipes" . If I could have my great grandmothers recipes translated I would see how they are. Thank you all in advance
