Now that you’ve seen the beautiful pastry, let’s make it ourselves! Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fruit preserves (your choice: apricot, raspberry, or cherry are fab!)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until smooth. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add in the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Don’t be afraid to get your hands in there!
  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until firm. It’ll make rolling out much easier.
  5. Once chilled, roll out the dough onto a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles.
  6. Place the circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Now, take a small amount of your fruit preserves and place it in the center of each circle.
  7. Fold over the dough to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal them tight.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden.
  9. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar for that sweet finishing touch!

And there you have it! Some delicious Sophies Kolacky ready to be enjoyed. Grab a cup of tea or coffee, invite your friends over, and share the love with these tasty pastries. Happy baking, y’all!
