How to Make Grandma's Kolachky Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, sift together the 4 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup of softened butter and 4 ounces of softened cream cheese until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the 2 large egg yolks until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour and baking powder) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to become easier to handle.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. The thinner the dough, the crispier the cookies!
- Use a 2-3 inch circular cookie cutter to cut out the kolachky.
- Gently press your thumb into the center of each cookie to create a well.
- Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon of your chosen preserves.
- Place the kolachky onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
