Maple-Nut Rugelach Cookies image

Tried these cookies a few years ago for Christmas, and have been making them ever since. Looks like you put a lot of work into them, but they are really not very difficult. These are always the first to go on our cookie tray, and I often end up making extra batches. (I made 4 batches this year!) Prep. time includes refrigeration time.

These cookies are delicious, but they are very rich. I can only eat one or two at a time.

The cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I think I overbaked them.

I had a hard time getting the dough to roll out without it breaking. I ended up having to add more flour.

I'm not a big fan of maple, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The dough is flaky and the filling is sweet and nutty.
