grandma's easy kolackys
(4 ratings)
We would always have these delicious cookies around the holidays at my house. This is the easiest recipe for making them and the end result is a very flaky pastry that takes little to no time to prepare. Fill the pastry with whatever filling you like. I oftentimes use the Bakers filling which come in a variety of flavors. These cookies are perfect for the holidays because the dough can be made ahead of time and defrosted in the refrigerator. Also you can have your kids help with pinching the Kolackys closed.
