Rugelach are a rolled, filled cookie. Traditionally they're little croissant shapes, but I make mine by rolling a log of the dough and cutting 1.5 inch pieces. I have a plate of them in the photo gallery. (I can't figure out how to paste it into this post!)

Coincidentally, Ina Garten made them on Barefoot Contessa last night.

She makes it look soooooo easy.

mezzaluna, dont worry, you arent as dense as me...

for, idk maybe the first three days this post was up, I couldnt pronounce it the correct way, because i had never seen it spelt like that before. Where I buy them its spelt "rugulah". At the local bagel shoppe/deli, its one of thier daily specials. On my days off, i go there and order the same thing, everytime. Sausge,bacon,egg and cheese on a roll with salt pepper and ketchup, a medium tiramisu flavoured coffee and a bag full of those babys, generally the raspberry ones. They also make chocolate and rhubarb, niether of which compare to the raspberry, but definatly good. But then on some same days they have some really incorrect flavours. the other day they had lemon, pineapple, kiwi oh and strawberry. The strawberry was of course delish, but the other three flavours, YUCK! Maybe some people would enjoy Lemon, but pineapple or kiwi? sorry, but to me, those are the wrong type of fruits to be in this dessert IMVOHO.

Btw, the way i was saying it when i read that post was like this.. Roo-lash. Why? Cuz Im definatly way denser then mezzaluna with the picture probo.

I guess I'd rather be good at baking ROO-GAH-LACH (that last with a soft ch like J in Spanish) than at doing stuff on the computer. I have live-in tech support (my husband is an engineer).

As for other flavors, I have made them with bittersweet chocolate, too. I use raspberry jam with those rather than apricot. I would think a finely chopped apple pie type of mixture would be good, too.

Some of the rugelach have apricot preserves and raisins ("fruit and nut"). The chocolate ones have raspberry preserves, bittersweet chocolate and granulated white sugar.

As for the recipe.... I believe I've posted it before, but here's what I'm doing now:

Dough:
1 pound stick margarine
4 cups AP flour
2 cups sour cream

Pulse flour and margarine in food processor. By hand, mix in sour cream. Form into a thick square, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill at least 6 hours. You can freeze it, too.

Apricot Filling:
8 ounces apricot preserves (process until partially smooth)
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup chopped, toasted walnuts
3/4 cup raisins
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Chocolate filling:
8 ounces raspberry preserves
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped finely
3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Cut chilled dough into 8 bars. Flour a Silpat or rolling surface generously. Roll dough into a rectangle about 12" wide and 5 inches high. Trim uneven sides. Spread jam thinly over dough. Spread filling all over jam. Roll tightly.

Brush the log with egg wash (beaten egg plus 1 tablespoon milk or cream). Roll in turbinado sugar ("Sugar in the Raw"). Cut the logs into pieces 1-1/2" long. Place 1" apart on parchment covered baking sheets. Bake 30 minutes at 350F.

Makes about 64 rugelach

Oh! The sour cream in the pastry makes all the difference.

I'm partial to the apricot filling myself. :)
