    I was actually already done with all my Christmas cookies this year, but then I saw on a TV show how someone ate rugelach and I immediately had to get out a friend’s recipe and quickly bake me some Raspberry Rugelach. Whoever said that television has a bad influence on us… was absolutely right! Just kidding! ;P

    I’ve made rugelach before because they’re super easy to prepare and you’re pretty free with the filling. You can use pretty much anything you can get your hands on from your kitchen cabinets. Nonetheless, these cookies haven’t made it onto my regular Christmas cookies baking list. I guess I should change that someday… these little fellas are really delicious!

    Rugelach look like mini croissants with a bit of the filling spilled out. Unlike croissants, however, the dough is anything but complicated. Regular croissant dough needs a lot of attention – here you mix everything together in a minute, let the dough chill for some time and you’re done. Easy peasy ;)

    Making rugelach couldn’t be easier. Really. Your roll out the dough in a large circle, spread some jam or other filling like a poppy seed mix, nut filling, or chocolate spread on top, cut segments, and roll them up. That’s it. If you want to bake with children, these rugelach cookies are perfect and easy to prepare so kids can have fun with them.

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Add the butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to a large bowl and mix until well combined. Add the heavy cream and mix to combine. Add the flour and mix until just combined – the dough should be soft and not sticking to your hands. Divide into two equal portions and wrap each into plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.

    2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Roll out one dough portion (keep the second one in the fridge) on a floured surface into a circle with a diameter of about 12 inches (30cm). Spread half of the jam on top of the dough – leave a small spot in the center free and cut the circle into 16 wedges like a pizza. Roll them up from the outside to the center and place the rugelach with the loose dough end down and some space in between on the prepared baking sheet, brush with milk and sprinkle some sugar on top. Bake for 25-28 minutes until nicely browned. Take out of the oven and let cool down on a baking sheet. If necessary, remove jam that burned a bit around the rugelach with a knife. Repeat with the second dough portion. The rugelach should be eaten within two weeks. Store in a tin box.

    1. Butter, Zucker, Vanille Extrakt und Salz in eine große Schüssel geben und schaumig aufschlagen. Die Sahne dazugeben und alles so lange aufschlagen, bis sich alles verbunden hat. Das Mehl dazugeben und unterrühren – der Teig sollte weich sein, aber nicht an den Händen kleben. In zwei gleichgroße Portionen aufteilen und in Klarsichtfolie einschlagen. Für mindestens 2 Stunden oder über Nacht in den Kühlschrank legen.

    2. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Eine der Teigportionen aus dem Kühlschrank holen und auf einer bemehlten Fläche zu einem Kreis mit etwa 30cm (12 inches) Durchmesser ausrollen. Die Hälfte der Marmelade auf dem Teig zu einer dünnen Schicht verstreichen – dabei in der Mitte einen kleinen Fleck freilassen. Mit einem Scharfen Messer oder Pizzaroller den Kreis wie eine Pizza in 16 Stücke zerteilen. Die entstandenen Teigdreiecke von Außen zur Mitte hin aufrollen, damit kleine Hörnchen entstehen. Mit dem spitzen Teigende nach unten auf das vorbereitete Blech setzen, mit etwas Milch bestreichen und mit braunem Zucker bestreuen, dann für etwa 25-28 Minuten backen. Die Rugelach sollten eine leicht goldene Farbe bekommen haben. Aus dem Ofen holen und auf einem Kuchengitter auskühlen lassen. Ausgelaufene und angebrannte Marmelade ggf. mit einem Messer entfernen. Mit der zweiten Teigportion wiederholen. Die Rugelach halten in einer gut schließenden Belchdose gut 2 Wochen.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
