Jam filled Cream Cheese Kolaches are light and buttery cookies with a sweet jam filling. They’re utterly delicious, and everyone loves them!

*Disclaimer – This recipe was originally published in 2014. I’m working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I’m sure you’ll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

Even though I’m not Polish, these amazing fruit filled treats are some of my very favorite cookies.

There’s something about a sweet jam filling folded up within a buttery cookie dough (like a love letter) that melts my heart, and delights my taste buds!
