Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your hands, blend the cold, diced butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the softened cream cheese to the mixture and work it in until a smooth dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Divide the dough in half, shape into two discs, and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
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.
Cut the rolled dough into 2-inch squares using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.
Place a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of your chosen fruit preserves or filling in the center of each square.
Bring two opposite corners of the square toward the center and pinch them together to seal, forming a bow-tie shape.
Transfer the shaped pastries to the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the pastries to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the cooled Kolachki liberally with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy your homemade pastries with coffee, tea, or as a delightful dessert!
