Kolachky – Slovak Cookie Recipe

Even though many Ukrainians love making Kolachky, I have been informed that the recipe actually traces back to Slovakia.

My sister in-law loves making these, and shared her recipe with me, so now I am working on perfecting these as well.

They are so light, flaky and delicious. You can fill them with fruity jams, lekvar or poppy seed filling, but I am convinced that the walnut filing is the best in taste as well as keeping the shape of these cookies during baking time.

Pecan Tartlets – Recipe

These Pecan Tartlets will leave a memorable impression on your dessert plate and everyone’s palate.
Although they may look complicated to prepare, using a tart shaper tool makes shaping the dough into the tart cups a breeze. To prevent the dough from sticking to the tool, it helps to dip it in flour before each application.

Cream Wafers – Cookie Recipe

My next few posts will include the cookie recipes I introduced in my Christmas cookie post.

I am starting with my favorite cookies, the Cream Wafers. If you read the ingredients, you might not be able to envision how decadent these really are. They are very light and flaky, resemble a puff pastry, and practically melt in your mouth.

Cranberry Orange Scones – Recipe

Even if you are not a huge fan of scones, you will LOVE this recipe.

I made a batch of healthful scones a while back using a skinny recipe. They were tasteful, but not as moist and flaky as these Cranberry Orange Scones.

Strawberry Napoleon Dessert – Recipe

I love the creaminess of the custard filling in a Napoleon dessert, the flakiness of the pastry layers, and the sweetness of the glazed top, accented with dark chocolate.

It was an easy project, thanks to Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry dough, instant pudding mix, my home grown strawberries, and fresh whipped cream.
