Rogaliki (Polish Croissant Cookies) Recipe - Delightful & Easy

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (Chilled and cubed)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup fruit preserves (apricot or raspberry)
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (For dusting)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add chilled butter and blend until crumbly. Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract until a dough forms.

    Keep the butter chilled to create a flaky texture.
  2. Chill the Dough

    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

    This step is crucial for easy rolling.
  3. Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into triangles.

    Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for clean edges.
  4. Fill and Shape

    Place a small spoonful of fruit preserves at the wide end of each triangle. Roll up tightly from the wide end to the point.

    Do not overfill to prevent bursting while baking.
  5. Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rolled cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with egg wash if using.

    Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Cool and Dust

    Allow to cool on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

    Serve warm for the best flavor.
