Cake Mix Kolaches

Step 1

Grate butter and add to cake mix. Place in food processor or combine using stand mixer with paddle attachment. Work until butter is fully incorporated.

Step 2

Add flour and pudding and mix well.

Step 3

Now it's time to add the whipping cream and egg. Mix well! Work the dough until it's pliable. (You can use your hands for this.)

Step 4

Prepare a work station. I use waxed paper and doubled paint sticks to roll out my dough.

Step 5

Roll about 1/4 inch thick and cut into squares, just as you would with my cut-out sugar cookies. I used a scalloped cutter. Place on parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Step 6

Run a line of preserves on the diagonal.

Step 7

Fold over and press down.

Step 8

Sprinkle with sugar.

Step 9

Bake at 350 for 17 minutes or until golden. Allow to cool on a wire rack before eating (preserves could burn you)
