Sophie’s Kolacky

Kolacky is a traditional Czechoslovakian pastry. It is typically made with a yeast dough and filled with fruit, poppy seed, or cheese. Sophie’s Kolacky are made with a cream cheese filling and topped with raspberry jam. They are delicate and have a rich flavor that will leave you wanting more!

Ingredients

  • -6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • -1 cup butter
  • -2 cups all-purpose flour
  • -2 tablespoons white sugar
  • -⅛ teaspoon salt
  • -2 teaspoons baking powder
  • -‘1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling’ – try using freshly made apple filling for a more intense flavor! If you don’t have time to make your own, look for an all natural option without high fructose corn syrup.
  • -‘2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar’- this is optional, if you want a sweeter Kolacky add another tablespoon or two

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease cookie sheets.

2. In a food processor or with a pastry blender, cut butter into cream cheese until you have an even, mealy texture.

3. Sift dry ingredients together in a small bowl (flour, sugar, salt, baking powder) except for confectioners’ sugar.

4. Work the dry ingredients into the butter/cream cheese mixture until everything is evenly combined – dough should be stiff when finished kneading. If it becomes too soft at any point during this process, refrigerate for 5 minutes before continuing.

5. Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness and use a cookie cutter or glass to cut out 3-inch diameter cookies (re-rolling scraps as necessary). Use your thumb to make a depression in each cookie and place 1/2 teaspoon of filling in the center of each one – we recommend using freshly made apple filling for the best flavor, but feel free to use canned if that’s what you have on hand!

6. Bake for 20 minutes until cookies are lightly golden brown and let cool on a wire rack before dusting lightly with confectioners’ sugar
