Hello Kristyna,
Thank you very much for the recipe. I would like to make this soon.
I have a question…
How do you store these cookies. Can i keep them in the fridge like some of your other cookies? Will the icibg melt if i keep them in the fridge??
Thank you
Hi Ava, just store them in the fridge like other cookies.
Thank you!!
Have a Merry Christmas!!
Thank you Ava! Merry Christmas!

Apple in a tight sealed container. genevieve
Yes, people do put apple traditionally into the box.
My Father’s parents are from Czechoslovakia (actually Bohemia they would have said) and I have so few recipes from them. Thank you for doing this.
I hope you enjoy my recipes!
My mother’s family is from Czechoslovakia too! Don’t know anything! Her YouTube page, emails and this web page have been amazing!!
Soon once things settle down I will be diving in with many recipes! I can’t wait!!
We always made these at Christmas and called them “butter wreaths” . They were my favorite! I’m glad I found your website.
That is wonderful! Nice name
I made these for my mother-in-law last Christmas. I used my homemade blackberry jelly as the filling. Tasted fabulous. The jam bled into the frosting turning it slightly pink…still tasted great!
I am glad to hear you liked it. Yes mine also bled into the frosting when it set for some time. Makes it fun looking.
Do you have recipe for linecke pecivo
Yes. Just do search on here. I have few.
I made these for the first time today. The lemon flavor for me was a little too mild. So I put 2 or 3 little pieces of zest on the hole and that really made the flavor pop! Great recipe. Dekuju
Sounds good
They always need time to get better. That is why we bake these cookies 4 weeks before and store them in cold for the flavor to truly develop.
