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.

They're a huge hit around here. I was getting frustrated with the dough until I took the hint about the bag, which i used to actually mix in the dry stuff...SOOO easy after that. Personally, they were a little doughier than I would have liked; added some cinnamon to the filling - might not be authentic, but I wouldn't do otherwise now! four stars

Holiday staple cookie. I fill them with almond paste and assorted thick pie fillings using little or no filling, just the fruit. Cherry is delish! Melt in your mouth cookie and have been making with mom, now grandchildren for over 50 years. five stars
