Every year around the holidays, the ladies (and one uncle) of my family make kolach, a traditional Eastern European…cookie? Loaf? Roll? Whatever it is, it begins with sweet, yeasted dough that is spread with a yummy filling (sugared pecan is pictured here, apricot is another favorite) and then rolled up, baked, and sliced into appealing little…cookies, I guess. They are cookies. And it wouldn’t be Christmas without them.
