Traditional Kolaczki (Ukrainian Jam Cookies)
By Baba Tillie
Baba would make these traditional Ukrainian cookies for every special event especially Christmas and Easter. These cookies are made out of a cream cheese pastry and are filled with jam or nuts, dusted with powdered sugar. Baba’s favourite go-to would be raspberry jam or date nut spread for Christmas and apricot jam for Easter. Perfection!! (Recipe in comments)
Please NOTE: they work best with a very thick jam (raspberry or a date nut spread). In the video I used a strawberry rhubarb jam, due to some allergies, which was too soft…but still tasty 😋
