I lost my Nagymama to COVID last year. She made these for Christmas every year. Thank you for sharing this it absolutely made my Christmas without her a bit more tolerable ❤️ 🇭🇺
Haha! If only I could just travel to everyone's kitchen and help out! You've got this! I originally posted this on my blog in 2013. Tens of thousands of people have made them and there are lots of tips and tricks that people learned from their mothers and grandmothers in the comments. Give it a read and see if it helps!

Found your channel doing a search for bran and fruit muffin recipe. Been checking out your content all night. Subscribed to the channel and the newsletter on your web site. I can not wait to start baking some of these do-hickies!
@@ChefLindseyFarr My first run of the Kolaches all spread out. I ended up with a bunch of pastry squares with a dollop of apricot on them. Also, I think I left them in a bit long as the pastry seemed a bit dry. On my next run I'll try some egg white to keep them sealed. Would it be better to cut the time down a couple of minutes or reduce the temperature to avoid the dry pastry?
I wonder if adding a cinnamon stick and maybe a vanilla bean to the water would be worth trying? My mom always made apricot, walnut, and raspberry (my favorite) for Christmas.
Hi! That sounds absolutely delightful! I'm all in! When boiling the apricots, you could add a cinnamon stick and a split vanilla bean (with seeds scraped into the water). Remove the cinnamon stick and vanilla bean before pureeing the apricots. As for the walnut filling, check out my Hungarian Nut Roll Cookies: cheflindseyfarr.com/authentic-hungarian-walnut-rolls/ And for raspberry, this linzer recipe would be great inspo: cheflindseyfarr.com/traditional-raspberry-linzer-cookies/
I have never seen anyone use just sugar. Powdered sugar, yes but this is a first. We’ve had our recipes passed down, for centuries. I see people arguing in the comments about where the cookies originated: Czech’s will tell you they created the cookie during the 15th century. Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, and Croatia all have their own versions.
You could use prepared pastry, not pie, filling, but there are so many additives that the minimal extra effort is totally worth making homemade. Happy baking! 💜
Preserves or jam is absolutely fine. I grew up with a long long long family tradition of making these cookies on both the Hungarian and Polish side. Most of us who grew up making these, use the Solo brand 😊
Recipes can be found via the link in the description. It is how I can continue to provide free tutorials, since it links back to the blog. Happy baking!
@@ChefLindseyFarr just in case you haven't seen your own link-it does not have the measurements-that is what I am referring to-you only have the ingredients but we need the measurements-which is the recipe
@@ChefLindseyFarr well I'm so glad you decided to update the measurements in the ingredient list-and it is beyond laughable that you meticulously list all of the tools and camera equipment used in separate links 🤣maybe you should list the ingredients as you are filming in the captions. Luckily there are many other Kolacki recipes. This was such a waste of time
@@ChefLindseyFarr Not only that, one could argue about the spelling of Kiflis. Kiflice , Kifles, argue on with that and WWIII in Europe will be peeking its head around the corner !! lol Also I am starting a rebellion to Free The Glutens!

I'm sorry for your loss.
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed. 🧡
My Hungarian grandma made these and I struggle with it. I’ll try again with this recipe. Or you can come visit and make it! Thank you.

Wow you make so little. Don't forget to make some for family and friends. This cookie should be shared during this season.
Haha! Couldn't agree more! My family definitely gets a heck-of-a-lot of cookies this time of year, don't you worry. ;)
Can’t wait to make these!!
Hooray! I hope you do!

Where did you find a lb. of dried apricots? TY

Hi! Thank you for stopping by and weighing in, I'm always excited to read more about kolaches!
@@ChefLindseyFarr They’re such an easy and delicious cookie! Yours looks really yummy!
Thank you so much!@@el4925
Would be alright to use an apricot jam?

yes Jam is fine-that's what I use and it's not runny
I can not find recipe
cheflindseyfarr.com/apricot-kolaches-hungarian-christmas-cookie/
would it be okay to make with pre made pillsbury dough?
You could certainly try! I can't attest to the quality if you do that, since I developed this recipe from scratch. Let me know how it goes! 🧡
What are the measurements
Hi Steven! Measurements can be found via the link in the description. Happy baking!
"Kolaczki" is correctly pronounced in Polish as: Ko-WATCH-key NOT ko-latch-ees
Happy baking!
I love your recipe! 🩷@@ChefLindseyFarr
I 🩷 the homemade apricot filling, too. IMHO, most Kolacky that I purchase in stores taste very doughy. Love this recipe! @@ChefLindseyFarr
@@paulakelly858 I'm so happy you enjoyed this recipe! It's one of my go-to's all year long ;)
it would have been nice if you included the recipe?🤔

Those are kiflis not kolache.
Haha! There is much debate on that. Feel free to join the hundreds of others on my blog for that heated comment debate ;-)
They are both! It all depends on where you are from! 😀 Many, Many countries make these.

In my country its apricot jam tarts🤣 same thing..
They are both. I’m Polish and Hungarian. Same cookie, different name.
