Golden Kolacky Cookies
There are only four ingredients in these Golden Kolacky Cookies and they tasted like they came from a bakery! This recipe doesn’t make a lot and the fruit preserves add a nice variety to my cookie tray. What is fascinating about this recipe is that there isn’t any added granulated sugar in the recipe. The sugar is only in the form of the fruit preserves. These freeze well too!

Merry Christmas Diane. Thanks for a tasty, colorful cookie. Have a good day!
I love these! Merry Christmas!
Favorite from my childhood a couple centuries ago. My mom and her mother would make these filled with preserves from the fruit trees on their farm up in Duchess County, NY.
First of all Marry Christmas. Thanks for sharing such an awesome fingelicking mouthwatering recipe. I hope you will enjoy White Christmas Mocktail. Recipe is on my blog https://amazingshining.com/white-christmas-mocktial-recipe/
Diane, cookies look great, these are completely different cookies for me, thank you.
Merry Christmas, Diane! For once, I’m not hungry lol!!
LOL I am so glad! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
I’ve learned to read your posts after large meals lol! It was a great Christmas! Hope y’all had one also!
Hahaha and yes I had a wonderful Christmas. Everyone came here and I had a lot of food….of course. That way they all took some home.
Lucky ducks…
Always delicious – my friend brought some over yesterday morning and my mom used to make them … always tasty and smell so good! Merry Christmas Diane!
I saw them in your post last night and smiled! Enjoy!
I said to myself at first when I saw the title of the post – hmmm, wonder if Diane used the recipe from my post?
Oh, yum!!! Hope you had a good Christmas.
These are delicious!
Thanks Dan!
These look so yummy!
I don’t think I have ever made a cookie without adding granulated sugar! The fruit preserves made them taste just right! One of my new favorite cookies. Thank you!
So delicious!
Hope your Christmas was sweet and satisfying, Diane.
Reblogged this on Recipe Dreams and commented:
This looks so good. I guess the trick is in the filling.
I’ve never heard of these but they look scrumptious!
Thanks so much! They are really delicious.
It is too late for this year, but I have pinned this one to try next time I make cookies. They look so yummy. Happy New Year Diane. 🎊🎉🍾🎆
😋
Love these!!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
You’re welcome Ewelina!
😊
Those look delicious!
Thank you another one of my favorites!
They would be mine too.
About how long does the dough need to be in the fridge? I know it might be different for everyone but what’s the average time? Also, a family member makes these but brushes them with egg whites before putting in the oven, have you ever made these cookies and brushed them with egg whites ?
Hi Cindy! I left mine in for about 20 minutes. I wrapped them and placed them directly on the cold shelf and they got good and cold. No I have never used egg whites on them but it wouldn’t hurt to do so. I personally would have rather drizzled them with icing…lol I have a big sweet tooth!
I never knew what these were called!
Strange name…lol
We make them as little pie cases and call them jam tarts – they’re pretty yummy!! Love the pastry recipe included!!

Oh Donna I bet they are delicious! I am such a sucker for anything fruit filled. Thank you!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks!
These cookies looks delicious and are so pretty!
I love anything with fruit and these taste amazing. Luckily they don’t make a lot because I eat them! Thank you!
These are so pretty and look flavorful! So the recipe makes about 7? I often made thumbprint cookies with a refrigerator cookie dough but there was a lot less fruit preserves used. So these are much more jammy!
No they make more, I think it was around 1-1/2 dozen. What’s nice about this recipe is you could use a sugar free preserve. Also, you can add what ever amount of preserves you like. The only sugar is in the preserves.
I think I need to make these for Christmas. 2😇
They are so festive and disappear fast. Thank you Georgetta!
These look delicious! I need to try them
Thank you I love anything with preserves.
Simple, fast and easy! Will def try this for sure! <3
Thank you Tammy, I hope you loved them as much as I do! ❤️
welcome always and would let you know whenever I actually get to making it lol
Wow, just four ingredients! MY kind of recipe! And easy! I may actually have time to make these. As one who doesn’t eat sugar, I often am lacking in the cookie department this time of year. :/ Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you and I hope you were able to make them. 💕
Yummy!
Thank you June!
I haven’t seen these before and they look wonderful! Thanks, Diane!
They are another one that is perfect to give away Kellye. You’re welcome!
Looking delicious for Christmas. Thank you 🙏😊
Thank you!
