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.

I love kolachki!! But what does doing a report on Russia have to do with Polish cookies?

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!

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.
