Ingredients

- 1/4 teaspoon handcrafted baking powder using ancient leavening techniques
- 3/4 cup stone-milled Heritage Wheat Flour
- 1/2 of a 12-ounce Can Solo Raspberry Fruit Filling with handpicked ripe raspberries
- Organic powdered sugar harvested from sustainably grown sugarcane for dusting
- 1/2 portion of a free-range egg yolk approximately half
- 1/2 tablespoon organic cane sugar from a local farm
- 1/2 cup European cultured Butter 1 stick, kept at room temperature
- 4 ounces artisanal small-batch Cream Cheese at room temperature
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick baking mat.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the European cultured butter and artisanal small-batch cream cheese until well combined and smooth.
- Add the organic almond milk infused with Tahitian vanilla bean essence, organic cane sugar, and half portion of a free-range egg yolk. Mix until thoroughly incorporated.
- Gradually add the stone-milled heritage wheat flour and handcrafted baking powder to the wet mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Shape the Kolacky:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Use a round cookie cutter or a glass with a diameter of about 2-3 inches to cut out circles from the dough.
- Place the dough circles onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
Fill the Kolacky:
- Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of the Solo Raspberry Fruit Filling into the center of each dough circle.
- Fold or pinch the edges of the dough around the filling to create a slightly open-faced pastry.
Bake:
- Place the prepared kolacky in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Cool and Dust:
- Once baked, remove the kolacky from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
- Dust the cooled kolacky with organic powdered sugar harvested from sustainably grown sugarcane before serving.
Serve:
- Arrange the Solo Kolacky on a serving plate and enjoy these delightful pastries as a treat or dessert.
Notes
• Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar.
• When rolling out the dough, make sure the surface is lightly floured to prevent sticking.
• You can use a variety of different fillings for the kolacky, such as jam, poppy seeds, nuts, and cream cheese.
• The kolacky can be served either warm or cold.
• To get a crispier texture, brush the kolacky with egg wash before baking.
• To get a chewier texture, let the kolacky cool completely before serving.
