Strawberry Jam Kolaczki

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Strawberry Jam Kolaczki.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and give a cookie sheet a light greasing to ensure your treats don’t stick.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter and cream cheese, and use an electric mixer to beat them together until the mixture is wonderfully light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Next, gradually add in all-purpose flour, mixing well after each addition until everything is perfectly blended.

3. Step 3

   Now, it’s time to roll out your dough! On a lightly floured surface, roll it to about 1/8 inch thick.

4. Step 4

   Grab a round cutter and cut out 2-inch circles from the dough, feeling free to enjoy the process.

5. Step 5

   Place about 1/4 teaspoon of strawberry jam right in the center of each circle.

6. Step 6

   Gently fold the edges of the dough over the jam, overlapping them slightly to create delightful little pockets of goodness.

7. Step 7

   Arrange your filled kolaczki on the prepared cookie sheet, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each one for even baking.

8. Step 8

   Pop them into your preheated oven and bake for around 15 minutes, or until they turn a lovely light golden color.

9. Step 9

   Once they’re baked to perfection, transfer the kolaczki to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Step 10

    And here comes the finishing touch! Once they’ve cooled, dust them with sifted confectioners' sugar for that sweet, snowy finish before serving.
