How to Make Kolackys
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half, wrap each half in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough to about ⅛ inch thickness.
- Use a 2-3 inch cookie cutter (or a knife) to cut out circles.
- Place a teaspoon of your favorite fruit preserves in the center of each circle.
- Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges to seal.
- Place the kolacky on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your homemade Kolacky!
