Kiffles are a popular treat any time of the year but not many people have a good recipe or have made them at home before.
Mariann Kmetz, the head of technical services at Parkland Community Library, South Whitehall, came up with the idea of making Polish kiffles at a recent DIY project for seniors.
Kmetz brought all the ingredients and premeasured them so participants could just combine the cream cheese, butter and flour to make the dough.
They then rolled out the dough and cut it into one-and-a-half to two-inch squares.
Each square was filled with a small amount of fruit preserves and pinched together.
The seniors took home the kiffles to be baked.
