How to Make Kolachky Cookies

  1. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  2. Gradually add 4 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  3. Mix by hand until the dough is just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator overnight.
  5. The next day, remove half of the chilled dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
  7. Place about 1 teaspoon of your favorite jam (strawberry raspberry recommended!) in the center of each circle. Pinch the edges together to form a half-moon shape.
  8. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  9. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden brown. The tops may not appear fully baked, but they will be.
  10. Let the cookies cool on a baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
