Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 4 cup Cream cheese
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ³⁄₄ cup Jam or preserves (your choice of flavor)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• ¹⁄₂ cup Chopped nuts (optional)
• for dusting Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter and cream cheese until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in the vanilla extract.
2. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Wrap each part in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Roll out one portion of the dough into a circle on a lightly floured surface. Spread a thin layer of jam or preserves over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nuts, if desired.
5. Carefully roll up the dough like a jelly roll and place it seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow the rugelach to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
