Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1 cup Unsalted Butter
• 4 cup Cream Cheese
• ¹⁄₄ cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Jam or Preserves (any flavor)
• ¹⁄₂ cup Chopped Nuts
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• ¹⁄₄ cup Powdered Sugar

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, butter, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until a dough forms.
2. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a disc. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a circle. Spread a thin layer of jam or preserves over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and cinnamon.
5. Carefully roll up the dough into a log, starting from the edge closest to you. Place the rugelach 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 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Once cooled, dust the rugelach with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
