cookies, filling, holiday, russian

----COOKIE DOUGH----
1/2 lb cream cheese (at room temperature)
1/2 lb butter (at room temperature)
3 cup flour
1 walnut filling, below or
12 oz poppy seed filling (1 can)
----WALNUT FILLING----
1 lb walnuts, finely ground
1 egg
1 cup sugar
1 water

Mix butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add flour and mix again until smooth. Making this dough is easy with a food processor, hard with a mixer. Roll dough into 3 balls. Refrigerate dough to keep it from drying out. The dough can be refrigerated for 1-2 hours, but it is not necessary. Roll out 1 ball at a time and flour lightly. Roll dough out in flour or granulated sugar so it doesn't stick. Cut dough into squares or circles using cookie or biscuit cutter. Add about a teaspoon of filling. Roll squares into "logs." Fold circles over and seal with a fork. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. MAKE FILLING: Mix all ingredients together. Add water to obtain a sticky consistency. NOTES: * Russian Cookies -- This recipe is from Mrs. Malinch, my little sister's high school Russian teacher. I usually make this recipe at Christmas or Easter. My favorite fillings are poppy seed and walnut. A recipe for the walnut filling is included. The poppy seed filling can be found canned (Solo brand) in either the gourmet or cake section of most grocery stores. Yield: 6 dozen Kolachki. * The kolachki are delicate, so do not throw them in a plastic bag or pile high in a jar as you would cookies. The kolachki can be frozen. : Difficulty: moderate, the assembly requires nimble fingers. : Time: 30 minutes preparation, up to 2 hours cooling, 15 minutes baking. : Precision: measure carefully. : Laura Scarbro : c/o David Scarbro : Integrated Solutions, Inc.
