INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

COOKIE DOUGH
WALNUT FILLING
Mix butter and cream cheese until smooth.  Add flour and mix again until
smooth.  Making this dough is easy with a food processor, hard with a
mixer.
Roll dough into 3 balls.  Refrigerate dough to keep it from drying out. The
dough can be refrigerated for 1-2 hours, but it is not necessary. Roll out
1 ball at a time and flour lightly. Roll dough out in flour or granulated
sugar so it doesn't stick.
Cut dough into squares or circles using cookie or biscuit cutter. Add about
a teaspoon of filling. Roll squares into "logs." Fold circles over and seal
with a fork. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 10-15 minutes or until lightly
browned.
MAKE FILLING:  Mix all ingredients together.  Add water to obtain a sticky
consistency.
  NOTES:
*  Russian Cookies -- This recipe is from Mrs. Malinch, my little sister's
high school Russian teacher. I usually make this recipe at Christmas or
Easter.
My favorite fillings are poppy seed and walnut.  A recipe for the walnut
filling is included.  The poppy seed filling can be found canned (Solo
brand) in either the gourmet or cake section of most grocery stores. Yield:
*  The kolachki are delicate, so do not throw them in a plastic bag or pile
high in a jar as you would cookies. The kolachki can be frozen.
