    List of Ingredients




    roll/cut - Strawberry Kolache Cookies

    3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
    1 cup butter, softened
    1/4 cup sugar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
    1/2 cup warm milk (110 degrees F)
    1 large egg
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/2 cup strawberry preserves
    1 large egg, well beaten
    Glaze
    2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
    1 teaspoon almond extract
    2 1/2 teaspoons milk

    First, Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
    In a large bowl, combine flour, butter, sugar and salt.
    With your hand mixer, beat the flour, butter, sugar and
    salt until it looks like coarse crumbs.
    Dissolve yeast in your 1/2 cup warm milk in a small bowl.
    Stir in 1 egg and vanilla.
    Add milk mixture to flour mixture, and then beat at low
    speed until mixed thoroughly.
    Divide dough in half (you will have two chunks of dough),
    cover with wax paper, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
    Remove from refrigerator and roll dough out on a lightly
    floured surface, one half at a time, to 1/8 to 1/4-inch
    thickness.
    Cut dough into 3-inch squares, and then top each with
    1 teaspoon of your strawberry preserves.
    Bring up 2 opposite corners of each square to center and
    then pinch tightly to seal.
    Place the finished cookie onto a cookie sheet lined with
    parchment paper placing them around 2 inches apart.
    Brush each cookie lightly with the beaten egg.
    Bake for 10 to 14 minutes until golden brown. Let cool
    completely.
    Combine powdered sugar, almond extract and enough milk
    for desired glazing consistency in small bowl, (approximately
    2 1/2 teaspoons).
    Drizzle this glaze lightly over cooled cookies.
    Makes 24 cookies.
