Notes: Grandma always made these Polish cookies for special occasions and the holidays. She called them," Keeflees". Her favorite jam to use was apricot. Sometimes she would use cherry or raspberry jam for the holidays to make them festive. No matter which jam you use, they will be delicious and a special treat!
