Instructions For: Kolache Cookies
Soften yeast and sugar in water and let stand 10 minutes. Scald milk and cool to lukewarm. Cream butter; add sugar, salt, egg yolk and rind; beat until smooth. Stir in softened yeast mixture. Add flour and milk (cooled) alternately, beating between each mixture to form a smooth, soft kolache cookie dough.
Round up dough and put in greased bowl; turn once to bring greased side up. Cover tightly and let rise in warm place 2 hours or until doubled in bulk. Without punching down, turn out on lightly floured board and roll 1/4 inch thick; cut out with round biscuit cutter ; place on greased cookie sheet. Make wide, deep indentations in each kolache cookies center and fill with desired fruit filling. Let rise 15 minutes.
Bake kolache cookies in 400-degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Mix 3 tablespoons sugar and 3 tablespoons flour. Add enough butter to make coarse pellets. Sprinkle this over the top of each kolache cookie before baking. This kolachi cookies recipe can be made with any kind of filling that you like, for example prune, apricot, cheese, walnut and so on.
