Kolachki

1/2 pound cream cheese (at room temperature)
1/2 pound butter (at room temperature)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 pound finely ground walnuts
1 large egg
1 cup granulated sugar
water

Preheat oven to 375F. Mix butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add flour, and mix again until smooth. Making this dough is easy with a food processor, hard with a mixer. Roll dough into 3 balls. Refrigerate dough to keep it from drying out. The dough can be refrigerated for 1-2 hours, but it is not necessary. Roll out 1 ball at a time and flour lightly. Roll dough out in flour or granulated sugar so it doesn't stick. Cut dough into squares or circles using cookie or biscuit cutter. Make the filling by mixing together the walnuts, egg, and sugar, and adding just enough water to obtain a sticky consistency. Add about a teaspoon of filling to each piece of cut dough. Roll squares into logs. Fold circles over and seal with a fork. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned.

This recipe was part of "Baking around the World" with my daughters for Christmas 2007. Everyone enjoyed cookies. As for the question, "But what does doing a report on Russia have to do with Polish cookies? " I hope this helps.: Russian Kolachki (as above) and Polish Kolaczki are written similar but made differently. Just as Czech Kolache is written similarly but different recipe. five stars

I make these every year. Knead the butter, cream cheese, and flour in a plastic bag for a quick and easy way to mix it. Just make sure the bag stays closed! four stars

I have been making these cookies (Little nut rolls) for years, these cookies reminds me of my MOM and past Christmas's but we use to make small balls out of the dough, then rolling them flat in 10X sugar, filling them with the nut filling,rolling the dough like litte nut rolls, then baking them. My brothers and sister just loved then and now the daughter and I make them. five stars

Would not make this again.
Not authentic Polish recipe. Buter and cream cheese should be cold. Room temperature will make dough too sticky. The real recipe does not call for nuts. one star

I rolled it out and spread the filling on and cut into triangles. Then rolled them up and baked them. Saved some time.
You can use walnuts and some brown sugar, eliminated the egg and white sugar in the filling.
These are good but not traditional Polish Kolachi. five stars
