One of my favorite things to do is bake, it releases so much stress and really helps me keep my mind at peace...today got me thinking about how much i miss my babka and summers i used to spend with her...anywho today i decided to make her famous kolaczki cookies (with my own moder twist of course) 

Ingredients

1 jar of your favorite jam or preserves (for this recipe i used home made blueberry preserves)

½ cup granulated sugar

2 sticks (1 cup) butter, room temperature

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature

1 Tbs lemon zest 

2 cups flour

Confectioners’ sugar

Directions 

Blend together the sugar,zest, butter and cream cheese in a large bowl; gradually blend in flour, using hands once the dough has begun to form, until it can be shaped into a ball (this may be more or less than 2 cups). Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight

 

 

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Divide dough into thirds. Roll out each third on a floured (or for a little bit of extra sweetness mix a little confectioner sugar in the flour.

 

 Shape into a 12-by-8-inch rectangle, 1/8 to ¼ inch thick. Cut into 2-inch squares with a pizza cutter. 

 

 

Place ½ to ¾ teaspoon of the filling in the middle of each square. Fold each corner into middle; pinch together. (Moisten fingers with cold water if dough does not stick.)

 

Place cookies on ungreased cookie sheets; bake until golden, about 17 minutes per batch. Cool on wire rack; sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar.

 

Smacznego! (Enjoy)

(If anyone would like my recipe  for the preserves please let me know )
