Cut the ball in quarters, wrap each piece in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- To make the filling, combine 6 tablespoons of granulated sugar, the brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, the raisins, and walnuts.
- On a well-floured board, roll each ball of dough into a 9-inch circle. Spread the dough with 2 tablespoons apricot preserves and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the filling. Press the filling lightly into the dough. Cut the circle into 12 equal wedges?cutting the whole circle in quarters, then each quarter into thirds. Starting with the wide edge, roll up each wedge. Place the cookies, points tucked under, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Brush each cookie with the egg wash. Combine 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle on the cookies. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack and let cool.

PISTACHIO AND DRIED-APRICOT RUGELACH
Simmered dried apricots with a hint of vanilla are a perfect combination of tart and sweet. (We tested apricot jam in this filling, and it wasn't the same.) The mixture is slathered on rounds of cream-cheese dough, which is sliced into wedges and rolled into crescents before baking. The dough and filling can be made a couple of days in advance and refrigerated to make assembly easier (the dough disks wrapped in plastic, the filling in an airtight container).

Steps:
- Dough: In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter with cream cheese, granulated sugar, and salt on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add flour and beat on low until just combined. Divide dough into 3 disks; wrap each in plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- Filling: In a small saucepan, bring apricots, 1 1/3 cups water, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until apricots are tender and most of liquid has been absorbed, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer apricot mixture to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Let cool completely. (You should have about 2 cups filling; if not, thin slightly with water, a teaspoon at a time.)
- Meanwhile, finely grind pistachios in food processor. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to a 10-inch circle, 1/8 inch thick. Spread evenly with 2/3 cup apricot mixture. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup ground pistachios. With a pizza wheel, cut circle into quarters, then cut each quarter in half, then in half again, so you have 16 wedges. Starting at outside edge of each wedge, roll up into a crescent shape. Arrange 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with sanding sugar and 1 tablespoon ground pistachios. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer rugelach on sheets to wire racks; let cool completely. Rugelach can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Dough: In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, salt, and butter until butter breaks into pea-size pieces. Add cream cheese and process just until incorporated and a mass of dough is formed. Do not overmix or dough will be tough.
- Turn dough out onto a work surface and knead a couple times to bring dough into a cohesive mass. Divide dough in half and form two flat, round discs; wrap each in plastic and refrigerate for 45 minutes. (At this point, dough can be frozen for several months.)
- Filling: Lightly flour a work surface and a rolling pin, then roll one disc of dough into a 16-inch round (add more flour to prevent sticking). Evenly spread half the jam in a thin layer, stopping 1 inch from the edge of the dough. Sprinkle half the sugar over the top, followed by half the almonds.
- Assembly: Trim the outer edge of the dough to make a clean circle all around. Cut dough like a pizza into 12 triangles. Beginning at the wide end, roll up each triangle; place formed rugelach on parchment-lined sheet trays, pointed edge down. Repeat with remaining disc of dough. Freeze for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Bake rugelach until golden, 25-35 minutes. Remove to a wire rack, let cool, and serve.

CHERRY RUGELACH WITH CARDAMOM SUGAR
These tender, jam-filled confections, adapted from "Rose's Christmas Cookies" (William Morrow, 1990) by Rose Levy Beranbaum, have a flaky, cream cheese-spiked crust that makes them a little like soft, tiny pastries. This version calls for cherry preserves and some optional walnuts, but you can use any flavor of jam (or nut if you're so inclined) you like. Apricot and raspberry jam are the most traditional. Rugelach keep well at room temperature for up to one week, or they freeze beautifully for up to six months. (Watch Melissa Clark make her cherry rugelach.)

Steps:
- Make the dough: Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a hand-held electric mixer, beat cream cheese and butter on medium speed until smooth and well blended. Beat in sugar and vanilla extract. Reduce speed to low, and gradually add flour and salt until just incorporated.
- Scrape dough onto plastic wrap and form a ball. Divide dough into 4 portions and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 3 days.
- Make the filling: Combine 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, the brown sugar, 3/4 teaspoon cardamom, the cinnamon, walnuts (if using) and dried cherries in a medium bowl. Stir until well mixed. Set aside.
- Roll out and form the rugelach: Line 4 baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick liners, or slightly grease the pans with nonstick cooking spray. Remove dough from refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes, or until malleable enough to roll out.
- On a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out each dough portion, one at a time, into a 9-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Rotate dough while rolling to ensure it does not stick to work surface.
- Using the back of a spoon, evenly spread 2 tablespoons cherry jam onto the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup the dried cherry-walnut filling over the jam, and, using your hands, press the filling firmly and evenly over the dough.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the dough circle, like pieces of a pie, into 12 triangles. With an offset spatula or thin knife, loosen the triangles from the work surface. Starting at the wide end of the triangle and working to the narrow tip, roll up each piece and bend the ends around to form a slight crescent shape.
- Place rugelach, narrow tip tucked beneath, on prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between each. Refrigerate, lightly covered with plastic wrap, for at least 30 minutes (and up to 24 hours) to help them keep their shape on the oven. Clean work surface before rolling out the next batch of dough.
- When ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cardamom. Brush rugelach with milk and sprinkle cardamom sugar on top.
- Bake until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Rotate cookie sheets halfway through for even baking. Transfer sheets to wire rack to cool completely.
APRICOT NUT OR CARDAMOM PISTACHIO RUGELACH
Number Of Ingredients 20
Steps:
- 1. To make the pastry: The night before baking, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt until blended.2. In a stand mixer set on medium speed, beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. On low speed, gradually beat in the flour mixture until just combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Scrape the mixture onto a lightly floured board, and using floured hands, form a 6-by-3-inch log. Cut the log into thirds (8 ounces each) and press each portion into a round, flat disk. On the countertop, spread two 14-inch lengths of plastic wrap, overlapping them by 4 inches. Place one disk in the center and cover with 2 more sheets in the same manner. Place the rolling pin in the center of the disk, then roll firmly and evenly out to the edge. Continue rolling in this fashion until the dough is a 12-inch circle. Repeat with the remaining disks of dough. Leave the dough in the plastic wrap, seal, stack, and refrigerate overnight.3. The next day, when you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.4. To make the apricot nut filling: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon until blended. Remove one round of dough from the refrigerator and peel off the top layer of plastic wrap. Lightly flour the top of the dough and flip it over onto a work surface. Brush the top of the dough with one-third of the apricot preserves. Sprinkle one-third of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture over the preserves, then sprinkle with one-third of the walnuts, one-third of the pecans, and one-third of the raisins. Lightly press any loose nuts into the dough. To make the cardamom pistachio filling: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cardamom until blended. Remove one round of dough from the refrigerator and peel off the top layer of plastic wrap. Brush the top of the dough with one-third of the melted butter. Sprinkle one-third of the brown sugar-cardamom mixture over the butter, then sprinkle with one-third of the pistachios and one-third of the raisins. Lightly press any loose nuts into the dough. 5. Using a long, sharp knife, cut the dough into 12 pie-shaped wedges. Starting with the wide end opposite the point and working quickly, roll each wedge up jelly-roll fashion. Arrange the rolls, with the point side down, 1 inch apart on the baking sheet. Brush the tops and sides of the rugelach with milk and sprinkle with the granulated sugar. Bake until golden brown and lightly puffy, about 30 minutes. Let the cookies firm and cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining 2 rounds of dough.Variation To make Rugelach with Marmalade, Sage, and Pine Nuts, follow the recipe for the pastry, mixing 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage leaves and 1 teaspoon grated orange zest into the blended butter and cream cheese mixture before adding the flour mixture. Follow the recipe for the apricot nut filling, omitting the brown sugar and cinnamon. Substitute 1 cup warm marmalade for the apricot preserves and use 1 cup pine nuts instead of the pecans and walnuts. Proceed as directed.From Holiday Baking. Text copyright © 2005 by Sara Perry.
