However, I grew up helping bake tins full of cookie-pressed and dressed Spritz, Walnut Horns rolled white in powdered sugar, cut-out shapes and/or decorated gingerbread men, Chocolate Crinkles, Pecan Tassi's and Rum Balls. Sometimes we'd make the no-bake haystacks.

DH's family did raspberry bars, Slovenian potica bread, a 6-layer walnut torte with chocolate butter cream icing, and the poppy seed and apricot and strawberry jam-filled kolachki's, https://www.thespruceeats.com/polish-kolaczki-recipe-1136953
