Here is the most fabulous melt in your mouth recipe for cheese kreplach.
We eat them on Yom Tov morning, for after the kiddush, with cheese cakes, blintzes, and other assorted dairy goodies. Takes about an hour or two to make, but totally worth while. Makes about 100. Never enough.

8 oz farmer cheese
2 eggs
1 tbs vanilla sugar
4 tbs sugar

For warming
Butter
Crushed Ostreicher's Lemon cookies (or your favorite cookie)

Boil water in a large pot.
Divide dough into 4 parts. Roll out, one at a time, adding a bit of flour if nec.
cut into squares, fill with half a tsp of filling, close edges, decorate with fork, and place in boiling water until they float up to the top.
Place in pan in layers with parchment paper in between. Freeze
On yom tov morning, defrost in refrigerator overnight, place butter in a pan together with crushed Ostreicher's lemon cookies, and saute kreplach in butter with cookie crumbs.
