I forgot all about this recipe until speaking with my mother on the morning of July 4th.<\/p>\n<p>Living so far from family, I was missing out on holiday festivities. She mentioned she was bringing her beloved kolacky recipe to a party that day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My grandmother made kolacky with poppy seed, prune, apricot and strawberry fillings. As a kid, I remember liking the &ldquo;red ones&rdquo; the best. I had organic strawberry preserves in my refrigerator that I thought would do just perfectly. I&rsquo;m guessing my ancestors used canned fruit filling.<\/p>\n<p>To bring a bit of tradition to my family of four as we spent the holiday at home, I livened up our holiday with kolaches. As soon as my mom and I hung up the phone, I pulled out the ingredients and set the butter to soften on the counter.<\/p>\n<p>This kolacky recipe is an easy cookie to make for your family and for entertaining. For best results, kolacky dough needs to chill for at least two hours. Plan accordingly, and use these steps to make your own kolacky cookies.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kolacky\"><\/span>Kolacky&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class=\"ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 \"><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/kolacky\/#Kolacky\" title=\"Kolacky&nbsp;\">Kolacky&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/kolacky\/#Ingredients_to_Make_Kolacky\" title=\"Ingredients to Make Kolacky\">Ingredients to Make Kolacky<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/kolacky\/#How_to_Make_Kolacky\" title=\"How to Make Kolacky\">How to Make Kolacky<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/kolacky\/#Kolacky_Recipe_Tips\" title=\"Kolacky Recipe Tips\">Kolacky Recipe Tips<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/kolacky\/#Kolacky_Filling\" title=\"Kolacky Filling\">Kolacky Filling<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/kolacky\/#Powdered_Sugar_on_Top\" title=\"Powdered Sugar on Top\">Powdered Sugar on Top<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/kolacky\/#Substitutions\" title=\"Substitutions\">Substitutions<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/kolacky\/#Homemade_Kolacky\" title=\"Homemade Kolacky\">Homemade Kolacky<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/kolacky\/#Kolacky-2\" title=\"Kolacky\">Kolacky<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p>These are simple and delightful cookies. It shocks me how many people have never had kolacky before because I grew up eating them. They are colorful, pretty, and really liven up a dessert table.<\/p>\n<p>I remember going to a restaurant when I was a child and the server bringing plates with different flavors of kolacky at the end of the meal. Everyone passed them around, choosing their favorites. I&rsquo;m sure I was thinking, &ldquo;Wow! I&rsquo;ve never been to a place that brings you cookies!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>You can use apricot preserves, strawberry preserves or any types of jam and jelly you already have at home. I like using fruit preserves because they have real pieces of fruit in them, and I always have them in my refrigerator. Use several different kolacky fillings if you want various flavors.<\/p>\n<p>This kolacky recipe uses easy-to-find ingredients. Hopefully like me, you&rsquo;ll already have them in your kitchen.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6723\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6723\" class=\"wp-image-6723 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-0126-900x675.jpg\" alt=\"kolacky recipe ingredients\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-0126-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-0126-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-0126-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-0126-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-0126-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-0126-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6723\" class=\"wp-image-6723 size-large lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-0126-900x675.jpg.webp\" alt=\"kolacky recipe ingredients\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-0126-900x675.jpg.webp 900w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-0126-300x225.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-0126-768x576.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-0126-1536x1152.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-0126-2048x1536.jpg.webp 2048w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-0126-500x375.jpg.webp 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-0126-scaled.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-9\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-6723\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">kolacky recipe ingredients<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ingredients_to_Make_Kolacky\"><\/span>Ingredients to Make Kolacky<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>2 cups of all-purpose flour &ndash; I use gluten free flour from Bob&rsquo;s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour to make gluten free kolacky.<\/li>\n<li>2 sticks of butter &ndash; salted or unsalted<\/li>\n<li>2 eggs&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon sour cream<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of salt &ndash; sea salt or table salt is fine<\/li>\n<li>3\/4 cup fruit preserves &ndash; for the kolacky filling.

I simply unfold the paper it&rsquo;s in and pull down the sides so it can soften on the paper it came in. Make the sure butter softens before using it.<\/li>\n<li>In a large bowl, add flour, sugar and the salt. Mix.<\/li>\n<li>Add the softened butter, eggs, and sour cream.<\/li>\n<li>Use your hands to mix and knead everything together well. Do this for 10 minutes or so. You can work the dough in the bowl or on the parchment paper. Continue working so the kolacky dough isn&rsquo;t sticking to your fingers. Work the dough into a ball.<\/li>\n<li>It&rsquo;s chill time&hellip; literally! Put a light dusting of flour on the dough and put it in the bowl you mixed it in. Cover it securely and chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours. Do not skip this step. See Kolacky Recipe Tips below.<\/li>\n<li>After the dough chills, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.<\/li>\n<li>Line a cookie sheet or baking sheet with parchment paper.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Roll out the dough on the parchment paper. Use the top of a small glass to cut the dough into circles. After you make the circles, scrap up the remaining dough, form in a ball and roll out flat again to cut more cookie circles.<\/li>\n<li>With your thumb, make a depression in the center of each cookie. Spoon a bit of the strawberry preserves, or other types of kolacky filling, into the middle. It will be about a teaspoon worth of filling.<\/li>\n<li>Bake 12 &ndash; 15 minutes until the edges are golden brown.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Leave kolackys on baking tray or put them on cooling rack.<\/li>\n<li>Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div id=\"attachment_6687\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6687\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6687\" src=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9491-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"kolackies\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9491-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9491-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9491-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9491-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9491-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9491-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6687\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6687 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9491-300x225.jpg.webp\" alt=\"kolackies\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9491-300x225.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9491-900x675.jpg.webp 900w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9491-768x576.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9491-1536x1152.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9491-2048x1536.jpg.webp 2048w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9491-500x375.jpg.webp 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9491-scaled.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-11\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-6687\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You certainly can make them better looking than mine.

(To make these palm oil free, be sure to use whole milk without Vitamin A Palmitate.)<\/li>\n<li>Parchment paper is useful to keep the cookies from sticking, keeping your pan cleaner, and as a surface to work and roll out the dough.<\/li>\n<li>If you are chilling the dough overnight in the refrigerator, you can make it into a big ball.<\/li>\n<li>If you will be making the kolackys later that day, mound it so it&rsquo;s not as thick. You need to chill in the fridge for at least two hours.<\/li>\n<li>Dust the dough with flour before chilling.<\/li>\n<li>Be sure to seal the kolacky dough completely do it doesn&rsquo;t dry out. You can use silicone lids, plastic wrap, or put a plate on top of the bowl.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Try to keep the kolacky dough the same thickness so the cookies bake evenly.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Space the cookie dough circles so there is at least an inch between cookies.

However, since we figured out my son has a palm oil allergy and intolerance, we are not able to buy pre-made desserts.<\/p>\n<p>Cookies and desserts are all packaged and processed with so many palm oil ingredients in order to preserve their shelf life. Once I started reading ingredient labels before buying anything, it was shocking to see Every Single Cookie in the grocery store bakery contained palm oil ingredients. (Exceptions are sometimes biscotti and <a href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/pizzelles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pizzelles<\/a> if you can find them.)<\/p>\n<p>I never baked anything homemade before learning he gets sick from palm oil. Now I bake everything from scratch. I&rsquo;ve made cookies, including these kolacky. Once you build your confidence and start to have ingredients on hand already, it&rsquo;s really simple.<\/p>\n<p>Just knowing there aren&rsquo;t all the chemicals in these cookies, makes me feel better about giving them to my kids, even if they still are sugary dessert.<\/p>\n<p>Yum! I hope you enjoyed making and eating this Eastern European cookie (sometimes called a Polish cookie or Czech cookie) just like my grandma used to make. They are simple to make and delicious.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you make this kolacky cookies recipe, please let me know in the Comments below. I hope they turned out great! Love using fruit to bake? Make <a href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/crispy-lemon-cookies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crispy lemon cookies<\/a> as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>P.S. I asked my mother today how she spells kolacky (kolache or kolaczki or kolacky) because I didn&rsquo;t know. I saw it spelled lots of ways on the internet. She wasn&rsquo;t sure!<\/p>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-6646\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"6646\" data-servings=\"10\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-basic\"><div class=\"wprm-container-float-left\">\n    <div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-normal\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: #666666;\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9508-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-150x150 size-150x150\" alt=\"kolacky\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9508-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9508-1-500x500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: #666666;\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9508-1-150x150.jpg.webp\" class=\"attachment-150x150 size-150x150 lazyload\" alt=\"kolacky\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9508-1-150x150.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-9508-1-500x500.jpg.webp 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-16\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wprm_print\/6646\" style=\"color: #333333;\" class=\"wprm-recipe-print wprm-recipe-link wprm-print-recipe-shortcode wprm-block-text-normal\" data-recipe-id=\"6646\" data-template=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-icon wprm-recipe-print-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" width=\"16px\" height=\"16px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"><g><path fill=\"#333333\" d=\"M19,5.09V1c0-0.552-0.448-1-1-1H6C5.448,0,5,0.448,5,1v4.09C2.167,5.569,0,8.033,0,11v7c0,0.552,0.448,1,1,1h4v4c0,0.552,0.448,1,1,1h12c0.552,0,1-0.448,1-1v-4h4c0.552,0,1-0.448,1-1v-7C24,8.033,21.833,5.569,19,5.09z M7,2h10v3H7V2z M17,22H7v-9h10V22z M18,10c-0.552,0-1-0.448-1-1c0-0.552,0.448-1,1-1s1,0.448,1,1C19,9.552,18.552,10,18,10z\"><\/path><\/g><\/svg><\/span> Print<\/a>\n\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\" style=\"height: 5px\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wprm-recipe-name wprm-block-text-bold\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kolacky-2\"><\/span>Kolacky<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\" style=\"height: 5px\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-summary wprm-block-text-normal\"><span style=\"display: block;\">This kolacky recipe uses ingredients you may already have at home.
