If you’ve never tried jam kolaches, You’re in for a treat! I love Allrecipes, it was one of the first places I used to go to find and try new things to cook. I love that these are from ordinary people, just like you and me, and that they are sharing dishes that many times have been handed down to them. This is one of those delicious recipes!
Now, to be clear, there are a couple of different ways as I understand it that we can make (and spell) these (kolaczki/kolacky/kolace/kalatchi), depending on what country you are getting your recipe from. For example, the Czechoslovakian version I believe may have yeast in it, and be more like a pastry. The version I am sharing is a Polish version and does not have yeast and is shaped like, well, a Cookie!
What I love about these cookies is that they freeze beautifully, if you have any left over, that is! They make a great addition to any holiday celebration or gift basket. Let’s jump right in!
