Kolaczki cookies are a traditional Polish cream cheese cookie. The cookie dough almost mimics a pastry and is filled with a variety of fillings such as apricot, prune, cherry, almond, poppy seed, and more!
I had never tasted or even heard of a kolaczki cookie until I met my husband. Every holiday season his mother makes these traditional polish cream cheese cookies and they are divine. His family is not Polish themselves, but his parents grew up on the south side of Chicago and these cookies were popular in the area.
In researching this cookie I learned that there are many different spellings including kolaczki, kolachky, kolachy, and kolacky. But however you spell it, the cookie starts with a cream cheese dough that is rolled out and filled with all kinds of fillings.
WHY THESE COOKIES ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY COOKIES…
The dough requires very few ingredients
They taste like a fancy pastry, but are much easier to make!
One batch makes a lot of cookies- perfect for sharing or putting in a cookie tin!
The assembly process is best done with a crowd! Make them with kids or other friends and family!

???? Ingredients for 16 pieces
For dough:
450g (1 lb) all-purpose flour
125g (4.4 oz) butter
100g (3.5 oz) sugar
3 egg yolks
250ml (8.5 fl oz) milk
15g (0.5 oz) yeast
2 tsp lemon zest
2 pinches of salt
For decoration and smearing:
2 egg yolks
flour
raisins
sliced almonds
butter
Poppy filling:
100g (3.5 oz) ground poppy seeds
200ml (6.7 fl oz) milk
1 egg white
1 tbsp (0.5 oz) honey
20g (0.7 oz) butter
1 tsp (0.16 oz) ground allspice
Cottage cheese filling:
250g (8.5 oz) high-fat cottage cheese
1 egg yolk
25g (0.8 oz) butter
4 tsp (0.64 oz) ground almonds
2 tbsp (1 oz) sugar
Plum jam filling:
150g (5.3 oz) plum jam
50ml (1.69 fl oz) rum
1 tsp (0.16 oz) lemon zest
1 tsp (0.16 oz) ground allspice
1 tsp (0.16 oz) cinnamon
Whisk together yeast, half of milk, 1 tsp (0.16 oz) sugar, and let rest for 15 minutes.
Melt the butter.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, yolks, lemon zest, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and the rest of milk. Whisk together, and add the butter. Knead until a firm dough is formed - it should not be very stiff.
Cover with a kitchen cloth and let rise for 4 hours.
???? Poppy filling: add the poppy into a small pot, pour in milk, add butter, bring to boil, and cook for 10 minutes. Add honey, allspice, remove from the heat, and stir in one egg white. The filling should be sweet.
???? Cottage cheese filling: whisk together cheese, egg yolk, sugar, butter and ground almonds. If you want to have more volume, whisk yolks with sugar separately.
???? Plum jam filling: whisk together plum jam, rum, add lemon zest, ground allspice and cinnamon.
Baking:
Divide the dough into pieces by 45-60 grams (1.5 oz - 2.1 oz). Form balls and wrap them in white flour. Cover with a kitchen cloth and let rest for 30-45 min.
Preheat the oven to 160°C/320°F.
Add the balls onto a baking form, and make circles with a steep dent in the middle by using a glass. The edges should be ~1cm (0.4 inches) thick.
Brush the edges with egg yolks and add the filling. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. When removed from the oven, brush the edges with melted butter, and decorate the cookies with raisins and sliced almonds.
Let cool and serve.
