I should have followed another reviewer suggestion and eliminate the baking powder. This was not what I remembered my polish grandmother to make. I made circles and used Solo apricot and poppyseed filling. I made sure I pinched the dough when I folded it over but, when baking they still seperated at the fold. I think this recipe is meant to be made with the apple filling since it is a puffy pastry. Although they tasted good I gave this three stars because the dough did not stay together and I wouldn't say this is an old recipe of true polish kolacky.

This was excellent! I prepared everything according to recipe with exception of using whole wheat seasoned bread crumbs and my own sauce. Took some time to prepare but very good.

I gave this four stars because although I thought it was moist and tasty I thought it lacked flavor in my opinion. I enjoyed it the first day I baked it because the coconut was toasted. Naturally once you cover it through the night the coconut gets moist. If I do try it again I think I might do what another reviewer suggested and add the 20 oz. pineapple, change to 1/4 cup oil, and 1/4 cup of reserved juice. I did put the foil over the top to prevent the darkening of the coconut while baking, and my bake time was a lot longer than noted on recipe. I'm not sure if I used the right size pan but, I used a 8x8-2" glass square pan. The recipe stated 9" square. Close enough I guess.
