Eggless Polish Cream Cheese Cookies (Kolacky)

Eggless Polish Cream Cheese Cookies

Eggless Polish Cream Cheese Cookies

Eggless Polish Cream Cheese Cookies also called Kolacky or Kolaczki. Eggless Polish Cream Cheese Cookies are a Christmas tradition. Eggless Polish Cream Cheese Cookies are Sweet, crispy and addicting. Polish Cream Cheese Cookies are widely popular in Poland as a Christmas tradition but they are popular in other Eastern European countries as well. Basically, Polish Cream Cheese Cookies are not eggless but my version is eggless.

Traditionally, these cream cheese cookies are filled with fruit preserves or jam. However, my favorite filling is raspberry. And believe me raspberry filling is unbelievable sensational! The raspberry jam filling is just the right amount of sweet to set off the flakey, buttery pastry. You can use any other fruit filling like, blueberry, strawberry, apricot and so forth. It is not limited to fruit preserves though. You can also use poppy seed, almond or other fillings. Literally anything you like. Kolaczki are great with many different fillings!

Being vegetarian whenever we go to bakery section in any shop/shopping center, we always check that bakery item has eggs or not before we buy. Unfortunately, most of bakery items contains eggs. And same happens with Kolacky when first time I saw it in shop, it just indulges me and there was something about it that makes my mouth water. But off course we did not buy it as it had eggs. My kids also demanded to eat this and asked me to make at home, which forced me to make this at home. I scrolled over few online recipes and decided to give one shot. Fortunately, it came out so good and tasty. Even my kids finished it so quickly. In fact, there were barely enough left to photograph. I am sure you will love this recipe.

Pineapple Passion Fruit Mojito is a perfect tropic Pineapple Passion Fruit Mojito is a perfect tropical cocktail drink for hot summer days. It can be served with ice, lemon and mint leaves to make refreshing drink. I love summer only because of the tropical fruits, especially mango, passion fruit, lychee, pineapple, etc…The base of the drink is the simple ingredients. It goes well with any additions to change it to more complex cocktail.
