Rugelach
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt until a dough forms. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into a circle about 1/8 inch thick. Spread a thin layer of jam or preserves over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.
-
Cut the dough into 8 wedges. Starting from the wide end, roll up each wedge tightly and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow the rugelach to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
