  4. Add the eggs, mixing in with the pastry blender.
  5. Add the lemon peel.
  6. Form the dough into a ball and wrap in wax paper, and refrigerate for atleast 1 hour.
  7. YEAST DOUGH:.
  8. Sprinkle the yeast over 1/4 cup lukewarm water (105°F); add a pinch of sugar, and set aside until foamy.
  9. Put 2 cups flour in a large bowl and add the yeast, milk, salt, and remaining sugar.
  10. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
  11. Add the butter and enough flour to produce a dough that is moist and pliable.
  12. Knead for 5 minutes.
  13. Form the dough into a ball and place in a large greased bowl.
  14. Cover with a dish towel and set aside to rise, 1-1 1/2 hours until doubled in bulk.
  15. MOHN FILLING:.
  16. Combine the poppy seeds, honey, and milk in a small saucepan. Simmer for about 10minutes, stirring constantly; the mixture should thicken.
  17. Stir in lemon juice, lemon peel, and raisins.
  18. Set aside to cool.
  19. PRUNE FILLING.
  20. Cover the prunes with 1 cup water in a small saucepan.
  21. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes -1 hour, until tender.
  22. Add the lemon juice and honey, and simmer slowly for about 10 minutes.

  24. LEKVAR FILLING:.
  25. Combine all ingredients.
  26. NOTE:.
  27. All fillings can be made in advance and stored (covered) in the refrigerator.
  28. ASSEMBLY:.
  29. Preheat the oven to 350°F You will need 1 recipe dough, 1 recipe filling, and 1 egg, beaten with 1 tbsp water.
  30. Divide whichever dough you choose into portions you can easily roll out.
  31. On a floured board, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch. The cookie dough rolls out best if rolled out between two sheets of wax paper.
  32. Cut the dough into 3-4 inch circles, using the top of a glass or cookie cutter. Fill each circle with a heaping teaspoon of filling and pinch the dough around it into a triangular shape.
  33. Brush the dough with the egg wash and bake on a greased cookie sheet for 20-30minutes (the cookie dough will bake faster than the yeast dough).
  34. When the cookies are done, they will look appealingly brown. Taste one if in doubt!
