Kolaczki Polish Cookies
(CO-wāch-key)
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups flour
- Jam
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- Cream together butter, cream cheese, and almond extract.
- Mix together salt and flour, then add to the bowl with the mixer on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Wrap dough in plastic wrap and flatten into a rectangle. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line your baking sheet with parchment. Sprinkle powdered sugar on your pastry mat or very clean counter.
- Working quickly, cut the chilled dough in half and place one half on your pastry mat/counter and the other back in the refrigerator.
- Roll the dough out to 1⁄4 inch thick then cut your dough into 2 ½ inch squares.
- Place each square onto a baking sheet and add ½ tsp of jam into the centers of the pastry then carefully spread the jam out.
- Cross one corner of the pastry square over the jam filling. Rub a small drop of water on the corner of the pastry square and then seal the cookie by overlapping with the opposite pastry square corner.
- Bake for 10 to 20 minutes or until the edges are golden. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar.
