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. :D
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. :)
