- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup brown sugar

This recipe makes about 24 rugelach.
To start, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and cream cheese, and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into four equal pieces, and shape each piece into a disk. Wrap the disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the dough disks into a circle. Spread a quarter of the pumpkin mixture over the dough, leaving a small border around the edge. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Cut the dough into 6-8 wedges, and roll each wedge up from the wide end to the point. Place the rugelach on the prepared baking sheet, and repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Bake the rugelach for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
