Butter Cookies Recipe - Czech Maslove Pecivo
"This recipe for Czech butter cookies or maslove pecivo (mahss-LAW-vay peh-CHEE-vaw) is often served at Christmas time when they become part of vanocni cukrovi (vah-NAWTCH-nee koo-KRAW-vee) or Christmas sweets, the baking for which usually begins on St. Nicholas Day, Dec. 6. This is my favorite recipe because it can be piped out or forced through a cookie press or, if refrigerated for a few hours, rolled into balls and turned into thumbprint cookies filled with jam. Here's a larger photo of butter cookies. Freeze leftover egg whites and save for leftover egg white recipes...."
