Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using European-style butter. If you don't have cream cheese, a mascarpone or ricotta can work as a substitute. To make the cookies sweeter, add a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top after baking. Ensure the dough is well-chilled before rolling out to prevent sticking and make it easier to handle.

These kolacky cookies are delightful on their own or served with a cup of tea or coffee. Pair them with Southern Baked Carrots for a comforting meal or enjoy them alongside Gocada (Coconut Custard) for a sweet finish. Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch.
