Cooking Recipe Kolaches (Or Kolacky)
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
These are very simple, but you will find NO better
cookie anywhere! On the down side, they do require
advanced preparation (overnight is best). Included
are a couple of filling recipes, but a can of pre-made
will work too. (Apricot is best) When rolling out
dough, try to keep it as chilled as possible. To cream
the cottage cheese, it helps if you have a food
processor or blender, but a fork and a strong arm will
do in a pinch. Mix ingredients and chill at least 6
hours. Roll to 1/4" thickness. Cut into 2 or 3 inch
squares, and place filling or preserves in center of
square. Bring corners over filling and seal together.
Bake at 350 - 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and dust with
powdered sugar. Pineapple Filling: Combine
ingredients in sauce pan, cook stirring constantly
until thickened. Cool. Apricot Filling: Simmer
apricot 10 minutes. Add sugar and simmer 10 minutes
more. Remove from heat and add butter and cinnamon.
Cool.
