Yield Makes 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces
4 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons buttermilk, chilled
1/4 cup apricot jam
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts, such as walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds
1/4 cup sanding sugar
1/4 cup golden raisins, chopped
1/4 cup dark raisins, chopped
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Pinch of nutmeg
1/2 cup semisweet mini chocolate morsels

Steps:

  • Place the flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until combined. Add the butter, and pulse 10 times. Add the cream cheese; pulse until the mixture is just combined. Drizzle in the buttermilk; pulse until the mixture just comes together when you press it with your fingers.
  • Transfer dough to a clean work surface, and shape into a flat disk; cover with plastic, and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment; set aside. In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients of your choice. Set the filling aside.
  • Divide chilled dough into three pieces. Flatten one into a disk, and return other two to refrigerator. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the disk to an 1/8-inch thickness. Cut dough into a 6 1/4-inch circle. Using a pizza cutter, divide the dough in half, then into quarters, then into eighths.
  • Brush each triangle lightly with jam, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon filling mixture, being careful not to cover the narrow ends. Starting at the wider end, roll up each cookie; transfer to a baking sheet. Brush each cookie with egg white, then sprinkle with nuts and sanding sugar. Chill until firm, about 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining two-thirds of dough.
  • Bake cookies until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container up to 2 days.

These rugelach were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.
