Eating My Way Through the Holidays! Sweet Celebrations: Kolachy Wedding Cookies! The beauty of this wedding delicacy, popular in Central Europe, transforms every bite into a puff of pastry. Taste the splendor. Choose one or more of your favorite fruit toppings, sprinkle with a few chocolate morsels, and let the celebration begin! I made mine into Cherry Chocolate Chip Kolachys!
KOLACHY WEDDING COOKIES
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1 8-ounce package Neufchâtel cheese
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 egg yolk, beaten
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 can pie filling, any flavor
1/2 cups semi-sweet mini chocolate morsels
Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
Cream together butter, Neufchâtel cheese, milk, and sugar. Add beaten egg yolk. Sift together flour and baking powder. Add to the creamed mixture and blend well. Refrigerate until the dough is thoroughly chilled (4 hours or overnight). Preheat oven to 400°. Roll out dough to 1/4″ thick on well-floured board. Cut with a 2″ round cookie cutter, or small glass. Place cut-outs on an ungreased cookie sheet. Make a depression with the back of a spoon in the center of each round. Fill the center with a dollop of fruit filling. Sprinkle chocolate morsels on top. Bake 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Yumm ❤️

Perfect little treats – I notice you use neufchatel cheese in your recipes – I have been using Philadelphia cream cheese for so long. Maybe it is time to switch to a lower fat cheese, but still just as delicious 🙂

I also use American neufchatel cheese in pastries, but note that it is quite different than the French version. which is more of a Brie type. Love both! 🙂
