In a large mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into cubes and add to the flour. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the sour cream, egg yolk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until the dough begins to come together.
Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface until it forms a smooth ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
After chilling, divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll one portion out into a thin circle, about 3-4 mm thick, on a floured surface.
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the circle into 6-8 triangular wedges as if slicing a pizza.
Place a small dollop (about 1/2 teaspoon) of jam on the wider edge of each triangle. Be careful not to overfill to avoid leaks during baking.
Starting at the wider edge, gently roll each triangle toward the pointed tip to form a crescent shape.
Place the rogaliki on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about an inch of space between each cookie.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk together to create an egg wash. Brush each rogalik lightly with the mixture to give them a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden brown.
Allow the rogaliki to cool completely on a wire rack, then dust them generously with powdered sugar before serving.
