Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 356°F / 180°C
- Sift the flour onto a pastry board and chop the butter in (like you would do for a shortcrust pastry).
- Add cream cheese and egg yolk and knead the dough quickly. If necessary - sprinkle with flour. To make the dough easier to roll out, wrap it into cling film and place in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough into a thickness of 3-4 mm (1/8 inch). Cut the dough in 2 1/2 inch squares. Transfer the squares to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Put a teaspoon of jam on the centre of each square, and wrap the corners -one on top of the other - to create an open envelope.
- Bake for 20 minutes until golden. Leave to cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

GRANDMA'S POLISH COOKIES
This traditional khruchiki recipe has been handed down through my mother's side from my great-grandmother. As a child, it was my job to loop the end of each cookie through its hole. -Sherine Elise Gilmour, Brooklyn, New York

10 POLISH CHRISTMAS COOKIES TO PUT ON YOUR BUCKET LIST
From chefspencil.com
- Faworki (Angel’s Wings) These thin, see-through cookies used to be reserved for Polish Doughnut Day or Fat Thursday (Tłusty Czwartek), but you can find them all the year round now, and most Christmas fairs sell them.
- Kołaczki (Cream Cheese Cookies) My favorite version of these cream cheese dough pieces is little cute diamonds, although the cookies can come in all kinds of shapes.
- Rogaliki Waniliowe (Vanilla Cookies) These shortbread crescent-shaped cookies are popular at any Christmas market around Europe. No one knows for sure from where they originated.
- Ciasteczka Cytrynowe (Lemon Tea Cookies) I call these ones Polish macarons. While they have nothing to do with meringue, both the Polish and French cookies are on the fancier side and have a filling to die for.
- Ciasteczka Warszawskie (Warsaw Cookies) One more competitor of French macarons, Warsaw cookies are crunchy sweet sandwiches with mouthwatering, tender semolina cream squeezed between two crunchy bases.
- Pierniczki (Gingerbread Cookies) While arguably every country has its own recipe of gingerbread, the Polish city of Toruń is special in this regard. The legend says that these cookies came to life after a baker drank a bit too much mead and overused honey while making dough.
- Ciasteczka Maślane z Dżemem (Jam-filled Butter Cookies) The trick of these shortbread cookies is hidden in their simplicity. You won’t find it difficult to make a few batches at home (and you can endlessly play with the shapes), but you’ll appreciate them as your default cookie for school fairs and parties.
- Ciastka Kruche Amoniaczki (Crumbly Ammonia Cookies) It just can’t get easier than this – the most difficult part about making Polish kruche ciastka is choosing a cutter for the shape you want.
- Rurki z Kremem (Horn-shaped Cream Cookies) While dozens of countries claim these horns as theirs, I strongly associate them with Ukraine and Poland. You will see the difference when you cross the border, though.
- Andruty (Chocolate-filled Wafers) Strictly speaking, it’s not a cookie. But what is it? Every Pole knows this taste of childhood – ready-made thin wafers (which are tasteless on their own) spread generously with a mixture of chocolate and/or shredded coconut.
