Political office: Ballotpedia's 2019 Holiday Cookie
Biography: The Kolatki is a Ukrainian Christmas cookie made with cream cheese, walnuts and dark rum.
- According to a fan, "Kolotki are so good, they must be hidden, sometimes in car trunks, until Christmas Eve, when they are served on silver plates decorated with holly sprigs. The Kolatki often supplants gifts under the tree as the most anticipated event of Christmas. No fair stealing a plate and eating them secretly in a dark closet."[1]
