Slovakian Kolacky

2 pkg Red Star® active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
7 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
2 cups Land O'Lakes® butter, softened
4 eggs, slight beaten
2 cups Deans® whipping cream
Fruit preserves

In small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In large bowl, combine flour and salt; beat in butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in yeast, eggs
and cream. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth,
2 to 3 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl; turn greased side up; cover;
refrigerate until firm 6 hours or overnight.

Heat oven to 375°. Roll out chilled dough, 1/2 at a time on a sugared surface to 1/8"thickness. Cut into 3" squares. Spoon 1 teaspoonful of
preserves in center of each square. Bring up two opposites corners to
center; pinch together to seal. Fold sealed tip to one side; pinch to seal.

Place 1" apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375° 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

5 dozen Kolacky
