Traditional Kolacky
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fruit preserves (apricot, raspberry, or your choice)
Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
Gradually add flour to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch squares.
Place a teaspoon of fruit preserves in the center of each square. Fold two opposite corners to the center, pressing gently to seal.
Place the filled pastries on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool on wire racks.
Once cool, dust with powdered sugar.
