Raspberry Apricot Rugelach

Rugelach (or Rugela, Rogelach, or a number of other spelling variations) are a delicious rolled Jewish cookie. Though traditional (European) Rugelach tend to be made with a yeast dough, most American versions use a cream cheese based dough. Rugelach (which means "little twists" in Yiddish) can be filled with all sorts of yummy sweet fillings, including nuts, dried fruit, preserves, or even chocolate.

Step 1 You'll Need. . .

Software

• 1 cup flour
• Large pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup butter
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 2 1/2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1/4 cup sugar

For the Filling - I like Raspberry and Apricot best, but you can substitute other fillings that you might like (nuts, dried fruit, all kinds of other things are options. Another popular type (at least in my family) is apricot/raisin/walnut/cinnamon):

• 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/3 cup dried apricots, chopped
• 1/4 cup seedless raspberry preserves

Hardware

• Mixing bowl
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Mixer or spoon
• Cookie sheets
• Rolling pin
• Plastic wrap
• Sharp knife
