KOLACKYS

Steps:

• In a bowl (and using a wooden spoon, your hands or electric mixer) combine butter and cream cheese; stir in salt.
• Gradually add flour, making a sticky dough.
• Sprinkle outside of dough with flour, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
• When dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Working with 1/4 of the dough at a time, roll it out to less than 1/4" thickness, using flour as necessary to prevent sticking.
• Cut into 2" squares and put a dollop of preserves in center of each square.
• Spread preserves across the diagonal, stopping SHORT of the edges.
• Either roll up and seal, or fold into triangles. If the latter, bring corners up together, and pinch across the center.
• Brush with egg whites and sprinkle with sugar, before placing on greased cookie sheet.
• Bake 10 to 15 minutes; cool slightly or completely before serving.
