Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll Out the Dough:
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Cut and Fill the Cookies:
Using a cookie cutter or a glass, cut out squares or circles of dough (about 2 inches in size).
Place a small spoonful of jam in the center of each square or circle.
Fold the edges of the dough over the jam to create a pinwheel or envelope shape. Alternatively, you can fold opposite corners to form a triangle or fold in half to make a half-moon shape.
Bake:
Place the filled cookies on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool and Dust:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar.
Kolaczki are perfect for sharing with family and friends during the holidays or at any special occasion. Their buttery, flaky texture paired with the sweet jam filling makes them a truly irresistible treat!
