Description
Satiny soft dough made with butter, cream cheese, and sour cream wrapped around a filling of sugar, nuts, and dried fruit: that's rugelach, which in Yiddish means "little twists." Beloved in many Jewish communities, these cookies flake like a Danish or croissant with its buttery flavor the perfect foil for the sweet filling within. While traditional rugelach is most often based on raisins and walnuts, apple, apricot, and chocolate versions are common as well. You'll find these variations in “baker's tips,” below: or create your own favorite filling.
