Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp baking powder (natural)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (natural)

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 cup fruit preserves (choose your favorite flavor)
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Dough: Start by creaming softened plant-based butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Next, add apple cider vinegar, plant-based milk, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), mixing well to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder (natural), and cinnamon (natural), then gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft, smooth dough forms.
  2. Resting the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This resting time firms up the dough, making it easier to roll and helping the flavors meld beautifully.
  3. Shaping the Cookies: Roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut into squares, usually around 3 to 4 inches each. Place a spoonful of fruit preserves mixed with a pinch of natural gelling agent in the center of each square. Fold the corners towards the center, gently pressing to seal but leaving some filling visible.
  4. Baking: Arrange the shaped cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-18 minutes or until the edges begin to turn a light golden color. The aroma at this stage is truly irresistible!
  5. Cooling and Serving: Let the Kolachy Cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This prevents breaking and allows the preserves to set perfectly. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Chill the dough sufficiently to make rolling and shaping easier and prevent sticking.
  • Don’t overfill the cookies to avoid leaking during baking.
  • Use fresh fruit preserves to ensure the best flavor quality.
  • Roll the dough evenly for consistent baking results.
  • Cool cookies completely before storing to maintain texture and prevent sogginess.
