Ingredients
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 227 grams unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 227 grams cream cheese (softened)
- 30 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 240 grams fruit preserves or filling of choice (e.g., apricot, raspberry, or prune)
- 60 grams powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Step 2
Using a pastry cutter or your hands, blend the cold, diced butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Add the softened cream cheese to the mixture and work it in until a smooth dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Step 4
Divide the dough in half, shape into two discs, and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Keep the other disc in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Step 7
Cut the rolled dough into 2-inch squares using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.
Step 8
Place a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of your chosen fruit preserves or filling in the center of each square.
Step 9
Bring two opposite corners of the square toward the center and pinch them together to seal, forming a bow-tie shape.
Step 10
Transfer the shaped pastries to the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 12
Allow the pastries to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 13
Dust the cooled Kolachki liberally with powdered sugar before serving.
Step 14
Enjoy your homemade pastries with coffee, tea, or as a delightful dessert!
