Buttery and flaky crescents filled with jam and mini chocolate chips, Rugelach offers a delightful balance of flavor and texture.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 36 pieces 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sweet butter, cold
  • 6 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup fruit jam (raspberry or apricot)
  • 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in cold butter and cream cheese until the mixture is crumbly.
  2. Add sour cream and water, mixing just until a dough forms. Divide into three disks, wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Roll one disk into a 10-inch circle. Spread a thin layer of jam, then sprinkle evenly with chocolate chips and cinnamon sugar.
  5. Cut into 12 wedges and roll each from the wide end to the tip to form crescents.
  6. Place on the prepared baking sheet and chill for 15 minutes before baking.
  7. Brush with egg wash if desired and sprinkle with extra cinnamon sugar.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown.
  9. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Keep all ingredients cold for best results. Chill the dough disks thoroughly for easier rolling.
