Cherry Cheesecake Kolaches image

I've been baking for 50 years. Since my granddaughter loves cherry cheesecake, I decided to try to put that kind of filling in kolaches- a traditional Czech pastry. It worked great, and now friends and relatives ask me to bring these kolaches to every get-together.
