These sweet pastries have Polish and Czech roots and can also be spelled “kolaches.” They are usually filled with poppy seeds, nuts, jam or a mashed fruit mixture. “The ice cream is a unique twist on traditional kolachkes, and its simplest to use a square cookie cutter to cut the dough.” —Diane Turner, Brunswick, Ohio

Ice Cream Kolachkes Recipe

Prep: 1 hour + chilling Bake: 10 min./batch

Yield: 120 Servings

60 10 70

Ingredients

2 cups butter, softened
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cans (12 ounces each) apricot and/or raspberry cake and pastry filling
1 to 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, optional

Directions

In the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer, beat butter and ice cream until blended (mixture will appear curdled). Add flour and sugar; mix well. Divide dough into four portions; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of dough into a 12–in. x 10–in. rectangle; cut into 2-in. squares. Place a teaspoonful of filling in the center of each square. Overlap two opposite corners of dough over filling; pinch tightly to seal. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Bake at 350° for 11-14 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pans to wire racks. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar if desired. Yield: 10 dozen.

Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with Solo brand cake and pastry filling. Look for it in the baking aisle.
