A soft rich dough filled with fruit preserves, nuts or poppyseeds. Kołaczki are a traditional favorite in Poland and Central Europe. • In this video, I walk you through making the dough, prepare a nut filling, and talk about other fillings you might use. • We’ll roll out the Kołaczki dough and talk about several options for cutting it into 2-inch squares. I’ll share tips to ensure your cookies stay folded over while baking. • You’ll want to include these for Christmas and your baking for other special occasions. I bake them ahead of time and freeze until the day I need them. Dust them with powdered sugar just before serving. • Ingredients for dough • 1 1/2 cups butter (340g), softened • 8 ounces cream cheese (225 g), softened • 3 cups all-purpose flour (360 g) • 1/2 teaspoon salt • Cream the butter and cream cheese. Incorporate the flour and salt. Chill the dough for at least an hour or over night. Roll the dough to 1/4-inch thick and cut into 2-inch squares. Put 1/2-1 teaspoon of your favorite filling to the center. Lift up two opposing corners, pinch them together with a dab of water. Fold the point to one side. Bake at 350 F (180 C). Cool, dust with powdered sugar. • Nut filling Ingredients • 8 ounces walnuts (225g) • 1 cup sugar (200 g) • 1 egg white • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract • Add a few drops of water (if needed) • Finely chop the walnuts with a knife or steel blade in a food processor. Add the sugar, egg white, and extracts. If you mixture is too dry (not coming together) add a few drops of water. Use for Kołaczki or other recipes. • You’ll find koŁaczki and a different filling recipe on my website at https://polishhousewife.com/kolaczki/
