Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Once you have a cohesive dough, roll it out on a floured surface and cut out shapes using cookie cutters. Place the cut-out cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake them for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. While the cookies are baking, prepare the cream cheese filling by beating together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a touch of vanilla extract until smooth.
After the cookies have cooled slightly, spread a generous amount of cream cheese filling on top of each cookie. You can get creative with the filling, adding additional toppings like powdered sugar, sprinkles, or even a drizzle of chocolate. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to customize these Kolaczki Cream Cheese Cookies to your taste.
Once the cream cheese filling is in place, allow the cookies to set for a few minutes before serving. The combination of the crispy, buttery cookie with the creamy, tangy cream cheese is simply irresistible.
