For the dough:
1 pound cream cheese, softened
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 pound butter or margarine (softened)
2 egg whites
For the filling (choose one or more of the following):
raspberry jam
strawberry jam
apricot jam
nut filling (recipe below)
Combine cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add flour gradually, until a soft dough ball has formed. Cover and chill overnight. Preheat oven to 350 F. Roll out small sections of dough. (Keep remaining dough chilled.) Cut dough into rectangles roughly 1 1/2 x 2 inches. Place filling on one corner of the pastry and roll it up. Seal the edge with egg white. Alternately, cut dough into squares, place filling in center and bring opposite corners together in the center of the filling. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
Nut Filling
1 pound ground walnuts
2 cups sugar
water
Combine nuts and sugar. Gradually add water until mixture forms a stiff paste.
Note: In English, these are sometimes also spelled Kolaches.

I have made these every year with out the egg white. It is a family tradition, and was one when I was a child growing up. My kids expect them!! Instead of rolling in powder sugar, trying sprinkling it on right out of the oven. 5 stars

My grandmother and mother made these every year for Christmas. Butter and flour (both from Poland) along with cream cheese. I made a batch of the pastry yesterday and froze them. Will make the kolaczki in early Dec after returning from Poland.
Fillings: prune (lekvar), poppy seed (Solo) and ground walnut.
Always popular at Christmas. 5 stars

This a great receipe, my family were eating them as soon as they popped out of the oven. The only thing is that it
was very hard to keep the filling in them. It could have been me as I am no baker. Otherwise very good. 5 stars
