Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 c butter, softened
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 c flour
1 egg yolk
1/4 tsp salt
honey
1/2 c brown sugar
1 c walnuts (mounded)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Cream together the butter and cream cheese
  • Mix in the egg yolk
  • Sift the flour and salt into your mixing bowl, stir until combined and a dough forms
  • Roll the dough out on to a floured surface, cut in half
  • Form each half in to a ball, flattening the top a bit
  • Wrap each one in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes in the fridge
  • In a mini food processor combine the brown sugar, walnuts, cinnamon and butter
  • Generously flour a flat surface, unwrap one of the chilled dough and sprinkle the top with flour
  • Use a rolling pin to roll it out to a circle (half way through lift up the circle, dust the surface with more flour and turn the circle over, sprinkle a bit more flour on top - this will prevent any sticking)
  • Spread half of the brown sugar walnut filling on to the circle
  • Drizzle lightly with honey
  • Use a pizza cutter to make 6 cuts, so you have 12 triangles
  • Gently pull one of the triangles away from the others, starting at the bottom roll upward so you end at the tip of the triangle
  • Place each rugelach cookie onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
  • Bake 20-25
  • Remove from oven, transfer to a wire rack
  • Serve
