Cream Cheese based cookie topped with sweet preserves makes these Kolachky cookies irresistible!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups preserves (I like to use a combination of apricot and strawberry)
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl combine butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar. Beat until creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add baking powder and flour. Beat until a soft dough forms.
- Drop dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll to about ½ cm thickness. Cut with a 2 ½ inch circle cookie cutter (or biscuit cutter) and place on baking sheet. Spread about 1 Tbsp preserves into the center of cookie.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, until set (before it begins to brown). Cool completely on wire rack.
- When cool, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar. Store in airtight container in refrigerator for one week. You may need to add powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
**If desired, after adding the preserves, pinch sides up into the center of cookie.
