GRANDPA'S HUNGARIAN KOLACKY



Grandpa's Hungarian Kolacky image

These cookies are SO light and SO YUMMY! This is my late grandfather's recipe; his favorite cookies to make for us, and my favorite to eat! Not sure if the spelling is completely correct; but he came straight from Hungary so I guess he'd know. :) Prep time does not include chill time. Yield is an estimate. (The jellies/pastry fillings used in this recipe can be found in cans in the baking isle of most grocery stores. I recommend using the "SOLO" brand.)

Time 38m

Yield 64 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened
2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
assorted baking jelly or pie filling (my favorites are apricot, poppy seed, almond, and raspberry)
powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Combine butter and cream cheese completely, add flour and mix well.
  • Divide dough into 4 balls; wrap each in plastic wrap and chill 24 hours.
  • Roll out each ball (on floured surface) to 1/8". (Be sure to keep them thin, as this keeps them "light!")
  • Cut out silver-dollar sized cookies; place on ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Drop 1/2 teaspoon jelly in center of each cookie and bake at 350* for 7-8 min. (Just until edges begin to brown.) I always bake the cookies flat; however, the edges may be pinched or rolled together as well!
  • Lightly sift powdered sugar over cookies and serve.
