Mixing bowl

Ingredients

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup strawberry jam
½ cup butter softened
¼ cup confectioners’ sugar sifted
3 oz cream cheese softened (equivalent to a small package)

Instructions

Step 1:

Put butter and cream cheese into the mixing bowl and beat until the mixture is all light and fluffy. Add the flour bit by bit while continuously beating it.

Step 2:

Now that the dough is all ready, roll it into 1/8-inch thickness over a lightly floured, flat surface. Cut 2-inch circles (or 2-2 ½ square) using cookie cutters.

Step 3:

Spoon ¼ tsp. of jam into the center of the dough, maintaining margins. (Now, for circle dough, fold the edges together with each overlapping each edge. For square cuts, fold the two opposite sides together, slightly overlapping the edge.)

Step 4:

Place the kolaches in a greased cookie sheet. Bake them in a 375⁰F heat for about 15 minutes. Put later on the wire rack just to let the cookies cool down.

Step 5:

Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar before serving.
