Polish Kolaczki (Filled Cookies)
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.

Ingredients:
230 g, 1 cup of butter, 2 sticks - room temperature
250 g of cream cheese - room temperature
2 cups all purpose flour
1 /2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup of poppy filling
1/3 cup of plum butter
icing sugar for rolling and serving
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese. Mix until smooth.
Mix flour and salt together.
Gradually add in the flour, sifting, beat until a soft dough forms.
Separate dough into 4 balls and wrap each in saran wrap. Refrigerate for 24 hrs.
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C or 350 degrees F.
Roll out the dough on a surface lightly dusted with powdered sugar until about 1/4-inch thick. Work in small batches, keeping the rest of dough in the fridge. If the dough gets too sticky as you are working with it, place it back in the fridge.
Cut the dough into more or less 6 cm or two-inch squares.
Place about a teaspoon of the plum butter or poppy seed filling in the center of each dough square. Bring two opposite corners of the dough together over the filling to form a roll. Pinch the corners together. You can also place a tsp of filling on a corner of a square and roll it up like a crescent roll.
Place the cookies on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Dust with powdered sugar while warm.
Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Enjoy!

Please take time during this Christmas season to contemplate the WONDER of God coming to earth as a Man to provide the way for our sins to be forgiven so we can have a relationship with him through Jesus Christ!
John 14:6 Jesus said . . . I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.
