 * 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
