Polish Cream Cheese Cookies Recipes

Warning!! You will not be able to eat just one of these Polish Cream Cheese Cookies (Kolaczki cookies)!

These little Polish Cream Cheese Cookies or Kolaczki are sooo good!  I really could not resist going in for seconds, thirds, fourths….. You get the picture! Yes!  I ate an embarrassing amount of cookies!

Mom was feeling a little nostalgic with Christmas quickly approaching and decided to bake up some memories.  Grammy and Grampa have been gone for a couple years now and we lost Dad just before Christmas last year.

We miss them dearly and it can be a little difficult this time of year especially.  One thing that always makes me feel like they are still with us are when we cook the foods they loved.

I don’t remember Grammy ever making these exact cookies but she certainly made similar ones.  She definitely would have loved these Kolaczki though and would be proud that we were Celebrating Our Heritage.
