* added till smooth and of spreading consistency. If you cannot obtain really dry cottage cheese (I can't here anymore); I have used Ricotta (only the best grade). Omit the sour cream as the ricotta is not as dry as the Farmer's Cheese; dry cheese is preferable. ALMOND: Mix together for ALMOND FILLING. PECAN FILLING: Mix together for Pecan filling. WALNUT FILLING: Mix all together, cool and spread or fill. KIFLI-Hungarian filled cookies Mix well, form into one inch balls; place in refrigerator overnight.
