Quick Kolacky is a type of Czech pastry that is traditionally served during holidays and celebrations. It is a sweet treat that is made with a rich buttery dough and filled with fruit preserves, cheese, or nuts. This Quick Kolacky recipe is a simplified version that takes less time to prepare than the traditional recipe. The pastry dough is made with sour cream, which gives it a tangy flavor and helps keep the pastry tender. The filling can be customized to your preference, making this recipe a versatile option. Serve these pastries warm with a cup of coffee or tea for a special breakfast or brunch.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.	In a large bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder.
3.	Using a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until pea-sized crumbs form.
4.	In a separate bowl, beat together the sugar, sour cream, and eggs.
5.	Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
6.	Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead briefly.
7.	Roll the dough out to ¼ inch thickness and cut into circles.
8.	Place the circles on the prepared baking sheet and make a small indentation in the center of each circle.
9.	Spoon a small amount of filling into the indentation of each circle.
10.	Bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden.
11.	Allow to cool before serving.
