Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Vanilla ice cream (full-fat, softened)
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Fruit preserves
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter until smooth and fluffy.
Add the softened vanilla ice cream to the butter and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into two equal portions, flatten into discs, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll out one portion of chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Using a square cookie cutter or a knife, cut the dough into 2x2-inch squares.
Place about 1/2 teaspoon of fruit preserves in the center of each square. Fold opposite corners of each square towards the center, overlapping them slightly, and press lightly to seal.
Transfer the assembled Kolaczki to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the Kolaczki from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the cooled Kolaczki generously with powdered sugar before serving.
