Easy Chanukah Dessert Recipe

Walnut and Cinnamon Rugelach

Ingredients

Cottage-Cheese Dough
  • 1 container (8 ounces) Creamed Cottage Cheese
  • 1 cup Margarine\Butter
  • 2 cup All-purpose Flour
Walnut Filling
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar (packed)
  • 3/4 cup Walnuts (finely chopped)
  • 3/4 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp Margarine/Butter (melted)
  • 1 large Egg Yolk
Method
  • For preparing the cotton cheese dough, blend cottage cheese, margarine/butter and flour and combine them well. The dough should begin to come away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Divide the cheese dough into three equal portions and flatten each piece into a disk. Use a plastic wrap to nicely wrap each of the dough disks. Refrigerate them until they are ready to be used.
  • To prepare the walnut filling, combine brown sugar, cinnamons and walnuts in a bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to a temperature of 400 degrees F. Line a large cookie sheet using foil and grease the foil.
  • Roll one piece of dough into a 12-inch circle, using floured rolling pin. Before you do this, take care to flour the work surface.  
  • Brush some melted margarine or butter on the dough. Spread one third filling on the dough and gently press it.
  • Using a pastry wheel or sharp knife, cut the dough into 16 equal wedges. Roll up each wedge in a jelly-roll fashion, starting at the curved edge.
  • Arrange rugelach on the cookie sheet, keeping the point side downwards. Keep a distance of ½ inch between two rugelachs.
  • Beat egg yolk in a cup, with 1 tbsp water. Use this mixture to brush the top of each rugelach. Bake all rugelachs for a period of 20-22 minutes, until they are golden in color. Remove immediately and cool them.
  • Repeat the procedure with remaining dough, melted margarine or butter, filling, and yolk mixture. Store rugelach in tightly covered container for a period of 1 week.
