How to Make Nut Kolacky
- **Make the Nut Filling:** In a food processor, combine 1 cup walnuts and 1 cup graham cracker squares. Pulse until finely crumbed.
- Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup granulated sugar to the food processor and pulse to combine.
- Add 2 large egg whites and 2 tablespoons honey. Process until well mixed.
- Refrigerate the nut filling until ready to use.
- **Activate Yeast:** In a small bowl, dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast in 1/2 cup warm water (105-115°F). Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- **Make the Dough:** In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the activated yeast mixture, 2 large eggs, and 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream until just combined.
- **Knead the Dough:** Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- **Assemble the Kolacky:** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured or sugared surface, roll out the chilled dough to 1/8-inch thickness.
- Cut the dough into 2 1/2-inch squares.
- Spoon 1 teaspoon of the chilled nut filling into the center of each square.
- Bring two opposite corners of each square to the center and pinch to seal.
- Lightly wet your finger and seal the edges of each pastry.
- Place the kolacky 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- **Bake:** Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
