Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 cup Cream cheese
• ¹⁄₂ cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ³⁄₄ cup Jam or preserves (e.g., raspberry, apricot)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• ¹⁄₂ cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut the butter and cream cheese into small pieces and add them to the bowl. Mix until the dough comes together.
2. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and shape each part into a disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
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 dough disk into a circle. Spread a thin layer of jam or preserves over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle with cinnamon and chopped nuts.
5. Carefully roll up the dough from one edge to form a log. Repeat with the remaining dough disks.
6. Place the rugelach cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.
