How to Make Czechoslovakan Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, then gradually add the flour, mixing until a stiff dough forms.
  4. Stir in the chopped pecans.
  5. Press slightly more than half of the dough into the prepared 8x8 inch baking pan.
  6. Spread the preserves evenly over the dough layer.
  7. Using the remaining dough, form small, flat disks (about 1-inch in diameter). Arrange these disks over the preserves, ensuring the entire surface is covered. Gently press down to adhere to the preserve layer.
  8. Crimp the edges of the dough to form a slight border around the pan.
  9. Cover the exposed edges of the dough with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
  10. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into small bars. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
