How to cook deliciously - Kolaczki Cream Cheese Cookies

1. Stage

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream cheese until completely smooth. Add butter, powdered sugar, and salt and continue to beat until mixture is light and fluffy. Gradually fold in flour with a spatula until just combined, then cover and refrigerate dough until chilled, about 1 hour.

2. Stage

Preheat oven to 350° and line 2 baking sheets with parchment. On a surface generously dusted with powdered sugar, roll dough to a 12"-by-12" square, dusting with more powdered sugar as needed to prevent sticking. Using a knife, cut dough into 2" squares and arrange 1" apart on prepared sheets.

3. Stage

In a small bowl, stir water and cornstarch until smooth, then stir in jam. Place 1 scant teaspoon jam mixture in the center of each square. Dab egg white on 2 opposing corners of each square and press corners together to seal. Freeze until chilled, about 10 minutes.

4. Stage

Bake until bottoms and corners are golden, 17 to 20 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and let cool before serving.
