Very old recipe…Many recipes of a similar cookie call to make these with cream cheese and butter…not sour cream and not yeast. I believe those are possibly more Polish. This recipe originally called to pull all four centers into the middle making a pouch, this was called a “scarf”; I choose to pull just two corners in…this is to represent the Christ Child wrapped in swaddling.
