Small batch of simple kolachi recipe and a few filling suggestions - our family favorites, apricot, pecan, and date. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 cup flour |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon cold water |
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans |
2 tablespoons honey, to desired consistancy |
1 dash cinnamon |
1/3 cup finely chopped dates |
2 tablespoons water |
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest |
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1/3 cup finely chopped dried peaches or 1/3 cup apricot |
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla |
3 ounces cream cheese |
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Combine butter and cream cheese in large bowl; beat with electric mixer at medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add in vanilla. Combine flour and salt in a small bowl, then gradually add to butter mixture, beating until it forms a soft dough. Divide dough in half and wrap in plastic to keep from drying out. Chill until firm.
2. Preheat oven to 375. Beat egg and water in a small bowl. Roll 1 ball out to 1/8 thickness. Cut with a round cookie cutter. Brush circle lightly with egg mixture. Spoon 1/2 tsp of filling onto center. Either fold circle in half and seal, or bring 3 edges of dough to center over filling and pinch firmly. Place on ungreased cookie sheets, brush with egg mixture. Bake 12 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool 1 minute, then remove from pan to cool completely. Store in a tightly covered container.
