Fig Peach Rugelach

Rugelach

  • 1 block cream cheese (8oz)

Cream butter and cream cheese together. Add sugar and mix well. Add vanilla and salt.

Add flour and mix just until it’s all combined.

To make and bake:

Roll each log into a 6″ by 18″ or so rectangle. Spread with jam or filling of choice and then liberally sprinkle with chopped nuts – I used pistachios. Brush top with egg wash and liberally top with demerara or other coarse-grained sugar.

Roll and cut into 1″ pieces. Place on sheet pans and bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 20 minutes.
