Directions

For the Dough

  2. Refrigerate, covered, for a minimum of half an hour and no more than three hours.

  3. Divide the dough into two parts. Put the unused piece back in the refrigerator

To Assemble

  1. On a lightly floured work surface, thinly roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Cut the dough horizontally into three or four strips,depending on the size of rugelach desired.

  2. Working with one strip at a time, smear the strip with oil. Sprinkle liberally with cinnamon-sugar mixture and then drizzle once more with a little oil.

  3. Cut dough on angles to form small triangles. Roll up each triangle and place on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Leave one inch between rugelach.

Turned out great. I doubled the recipe and made many for Succot. I filled some with cinnamon and sugar and raisins, some with cinnamon and sugar and craisins and some with strawberry jam and white chocolate chips. They were all delicious. Must say the strawberry jam and white chocolate chips is my favorite.
