Grandpa’s Hungarian Kolacky

Ingredients:

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened

2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

2 cups all-purpose flour 

Assorted baking jelly or pie filling (my favorites are apricot, poppy seed, almond, and raspberry)

Powdered sugar

 

Directions:

1. Combine butter and cream cheese completely, add flour and mix well.
2. Divide dough into 4 balls; wrap each in plastic wrap and chill 24 hours.
3. Roll out each ball (on floured surface) to 1/8". (Be sure to keep them thin, as this keeps them "light!")
4. Cut out silver-dollar sized cookies; place on ungreased cookie sheets.
5. Drop 1/2 teaspoon jelly in center of each cookie and bake at 350* for 7-8 min. (Just until edges begin to brown.) I always bake the cookies flat; however, the edges may be pinched or rolled together as well!
6. Lightly sift powdered sugar over cookies and serve.
