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
• ¹⁄₂ cup Jam or preserves (any flavor)
• ¹⁄₂ cup Chopped nuts (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• ¹⁄₄ cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the butter and cream cheese until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Shape each part into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into a circle. Spread a thin layer of jam or preserves over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and cinnamon.
5. Carefully roll up the dough into a log shape. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
6. Cut each log into 1-inch pieces and place on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. Allow the rugelach to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
