Ingredients

Making rugelach requires some special ingredients. You will need:

  • 2 sticks of butter, very cold and cut into cubes
  • 5 ounces plain cream cheese, cold and cut into cubes
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup of finely chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup of apricot jam

You will also need a few tools. This includes:

  • A food processor
  • A rolling pin
  • A pastry brush
  • A baking sheet
  • A sharp knife

Instructions

Making rugelach is a bit of a process, but it's not overly complicated. Here's how you do it:

  1. In a food processor, combine the butter, cream cheese, flour, and salt. Pulse until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of cold water and pulse again.
  2. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  3. Once the dough is chilled, preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Sprinkle the mixture over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  6. Spread the apricot jam over the dough. Cut the circle into 16 equal wedges.
  7. Starting at the wide end, roll up each wedge. Place the rolls on the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  8. Brush lightly with melted butter. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Transfer the rugelach to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for Success

Making rugelach is a bit time-consuming, but the process is fairly straightforward. Here are a few tips to make sure your rugelach turn out perfect:

  • Be sure to use cold butter and cream cheese. If the ingredients are too warm, the dough will be difficult to work with.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch. Too much pressure will make the dough tough.
  • Be sure to spread the apricot jam evenly over the dough. If the jam is too thick in some spots, the rugelach will not cook evenly.
  • When rolling up the wedges, start at the wide end and roll up to the pointy end. This will ensure the rugelach keep their shape.
  • Be sure to brush the rugelach with melted butter before baking. This will give them a nice golden color.
