You may have heard of Kolache, which is a Czech dessert, but have you ever had Kolachke? Notice the “k”, along with the smaller size of this cookie-like pastry. Kolachke is an addicting, almost bite-sized Polish dessert. I used raspberry jam for the filling, but the possibilities are pretty endless. Unleash your creativity; maybe even make your own preserves! I got a little creative in my decision to use only one stick of butter instead of two. I added a few tablespoons of canola oil to give the dough some of the moisture that the second stick of butter would’ve provided. I also sprinkled in a bit of salt, to bring out the dough’s flavor. This is a dessert nearly everyone can enjoy; even if you’re on a special low-fat diet, you can still savor these. As far as the wise “everything in moderation” saying goes, it doesn’t apply to these Polish pastries!
