Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Beat until thoroughly combined, light and fluffy.
- Add the flour into the creamed butter mixture 1 cup at a time until your dough is fully mixed. Wrap the dough in cling film and flatten slightly so that it chills quickly. Chill for an hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Dust your working surface with an equal combination of sugar and confectioners' sugar, then roll out the cream cheese dough until it is 1/4-inch in thickness. *I use a quarter portion of the dough at a time, meanwhile, it is important that the remaining dough is returned to the refrigerator and kept chilled.
- Cut the dough into 2-inch squares or rounds then place 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of your pastry filling into the centerline of each cut square or round of the dough.
- Overlap the opposite corners or sides and brush the bottom corner with water or egg white to seal the dough. Pinch or press the dough together to seal securely.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookie bottoms just begin to show a light golden color. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- Once your cookies are completely cooled, dust with confectioners' sugar (or just before serving).

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl cream together butter and cream cheese until smooth at medium-high speed. Beat in the almond extract.
- Add the salt and all-purpose flour in 3 additions, scraping down the bowl as needed to combine. Do not over mix to keep the pastry light and flaky.
- Once the dough is combined form it into a ball and dump it onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Flatten the dough down into a square shape and cover it completely with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper (or bake one batch at a time if you only have one baking sheet) and set aside.
- When the dough has chilled, sprinkle a clean work surface and a rolling pin with powedered sugar.
- Divide the dough in half (return the other half to the refrigerator until ready to use) and roll the dough into a large square, 7½ x 7½, 1⁄4 inch thick. Trim the edges with a pizza cutter. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into 2 1⁄2 inch squares. (Re-roll the scraps to cut more cookies.)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Carefully transfer the squares to the prepared baking sheets and spoon 1⁄2 teaspoon of jam in the middle of each square.
- Cross one corner of the pastry square over the jam filling. Rub a small drop of water on the corner of the pastry square and then seal the cookie by overlapping with the opposite pastry square corner. Carefully pinch the dough to seal it with your thumb and index finger. Continue until all the cookies are sealed.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are just slightly golden. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack after 3 minutes to cool completely.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large bowl blend margarine and cream cheese together, by hand with a metal spoon. Slowly add flour until it is all incorporated and a dough is formed. The dough will be soft and sticky. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put in refrigerator overnight, or for several hours (until hard to the touch).
- Flour the countertop. Take a handful of dough out of bowl returning the unused portion to the refrigerator (continue this process until all mixture is used). Roll handful of dough out into an approximately 1/4-inch thickness. Take a 2 by 3-inch diamond shaped cookie cutter, and cut as many diamonds as possible (size of kolachky should be two bites, so the cutter cannot be large). Take leftover dough and roll out again, cutting more diamonds. Repeat until all the dough is used.
- Place the diamond cut out onto the palm of hand. Put a 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of fruit filling (apricot or strawberry or raspberry or prune flavors) into the center of the diamond shape.
- Dip your finger in a little bit of water, put on one side of diamond. Fold lengthwise and seal the tops of the kolachky together to create a 3-dimensional diamond shape. Place on cookie sheets and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 to12 minutes.
- DO NOT USE Super heat cookie sheets or any of the new non-stick coated cookie sheets. They will bake too quickly and burn the bottoms of the kolachky before you realize it. YOU MUST USE ANY KIND OF CHEAP COOKIE SHEETS usually bought at a grocery store. Cover the cookie sheet with foil or parchment paper. Do not grease the foil.
- Look at your kolachky every few minutes, while baking, as ovens vary in heat distribution. The later batches may cook faster than the first ones. Check the BOTTOMS of the kolachkys. They are done when the BOTTOMS are soft golden brown. The tops may not look done, but they ARE! Remove from oven, wait 3 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack. When ready to serve, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the flour, 1 cup at a time, and mix well.
- Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Heat oven to 350 F. Roll out dough to a 12 x 18-inch rectangle-1/4-inch thick-on a silicone mat or a surface that has been dusted with equal parts confectioners' and granulated sugars (not flour), because the granulated sugar will act as ball bearings and help keep the dough from sticking.
- Cut into 2-inch squares. Place 1/2 to 1 teaspoon filling on center of each square. Brush a tiny bit of beaten egg white on one corner and press the opposite corner on it, pressing the dough together lightly to seal.
- Using a spatula, transfer the filled cookies to a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes (longer if baking from frozen) or until corners start to brown.
- Using a spatula, remove cookies from the baking sheet and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before dusting with confectioners' sugar. Serve and enjoy!

KOLACZKI - THE GREATEST POLISH COOKIE
This recipe is passed down from my grandma, who is still in poland and makes kolaczkis this way! The only difference is using the special baking jelly, which they did not have available years ago in communist Poland, especially not in the poor farming areas. Everything was measured by eye-balling, so I made my mom figure out the...

Steps:
- 1. In a big mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar and salt.
- 2. Add butter, egg yolks, egg whites, sour cream and lemon peel. Work it all together with your hands for about 15 minutes, until soft. Might be easier to transfer to a big flat work area. If dough gets too wet, splash some flour on it. If too dry, splash milk on it. You will know it is ready when it is not sticking too much to your fingers.
- 3. Shape dough into a big ball, cover with a flour dusting and place into a flour-dusted bowl (you can use the same mixing bowl). Cover with plastic plate or plastic wrap and chill in refridgerator for at least 2 hours (overnight, if you can!).
- 4. When ready to make the cookies, preheat oven to 375*. Cut off pieces of dough and roll out flat, and use top of a small glass or cup to make cookie circles.
- 5. Place cookies in ungreased cookie pan. Create depressions in the middle with your thumb. Spoon in about a teaspoon of jelly.
- 6. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, until golden brown edges form at the sides. The dough makes lots of cookies, so I usually put two pans in the oven at a time (next to each other), and when one is done, load up the pan with more cookies and keep going like that until you are done.
- 7. Remove cookies from pan and let cool. When completely cooled, sift powdered sugar on top. YUM; ENJOY!
