How to Make Czech Pastry Call Kolacky
- Let 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 4 ounces cream cheese soften to room temperature in a bowl.
- Once softened, thoroughly mix the butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup granulated sugar to the butter-cream cheese mixture. Mix well.
- Gradually add 4 cups all-purpose flour, mixing by hand until a soft, pliable dough forms, similar in consistency to pie dough.
- Form the dough into a ball, wrap it tightly in wax paper, and refrigerate overnight or for at least 3 hours.
- Divide the chilled dough into 3 equal parts.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough to 1/8-inch thickness.
- Use a 2-inch juice glass or cookie cutter to cut out round circles.
- Gently press your thumb into the center of each circle to create a small indentation.
- Fill each indentation with approximately 1 teaspoon of your favorite fruit jam (apricot, prune, poppyseed, etc.).
- Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal.
- Place the kolacky onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
