Ocassionally got here and saw your message about "pierogi" - being russian i have to say that these are not "pierogi", these are called "vareniki" (smth. that you cook in a boiling water) and pierogi are cooked in oven or fried on a frying pan. That's it=)

These are exactly like the pierogi my polish grandmother used to make. I was always told that the family would make huge batches (enough for grandma, and all the 6 or 7 kids and their families) boil them to do the initial cooking of the dough then freeze them and when they were reheated they always were fried then in butter. I sometimes get the premade ones in the freezer section of the grocery store, but they just are not quite the same.......

Could you use a different type of cheese? Something they add to the cottage cheese here makes my mother sick.

They are also rather popular in Czech families as I learned to make them from my grandmother and her parents came from Czechoslovakia. You can use cheddar cheese. You can also fill them with sauerkraut/mushroom filling. Saute the mushrooms first, add kraut and saute then drain well.

I`m from Poland and I`d like to add that you can put almost everything in pierogis. I love them with sauerkraut and mushrooms! But you can also have them with all kind of friut or with cheese and sugar.

Just to let you know I made your version of this recipe a few times and I think my fiance adores you for it.
Only change was that I added sour cream to the dough.
