Ingredients (serves 12):
For the dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
- 1 cup chopped prunes
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before starting the dough. This will make it easier to mix and roll out.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into triangles. This will help you get clean, even cuts.
- Don't overfill your rugelach! Too much filling can cause the dough to break or leak during baking.
Cooking Process:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, butter, cream cheese, and salt until a smooth dough forms.
2. Divide the dough into four equal parts and wrap each in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the prunes, walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon.
5. On a floured surface, roll out each piece of dough into a circle about 1/8 inch thick.
6. Cut each circle into 12 triangles.
7. Spoon a small amount of filling onto each triangle and roll up from the wide end to the point.
8. Place the rugelach on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
