Kolaczki
Soft, flaky, and filled with fruity jam, these traditional Polish Kolaczki cookies are a melt-in-your-mouth treat perfect for holidays or cozy afternoons.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 8 oz cream cheese, cold
- 1/2 cup fruit preserves (apricot, raspberry, or plum)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, blend cold butter and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add flour and mix into a soft dough. Divide into two disks, wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare your baking sheets and organize fillings and tools while dough chills.
- Roll out dough on a floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch squares, add a small spoonful of jam to each center, and fold opposite corners together to seal.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are golden. Cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
- Once cooled, dust cookies with powdered sugar using a fine mesh sieve.
- Serve and enjoy with tea or coffee.
Notes
- Chill dough thoroughly to make rolling and shaping easier.
- Don’t overfill cookies to prevent jam from leaking during baking.
- Seal folded corners well to keep them from opening in the oven.
- Use high-quality preserves for best flavor and texture.
