For the Jewish holidays and the sabbath, Bubbie Rose promises her Ainikle (grandchildren) batches of Classic Rugelach. For generations, little mouths have pled for second helpings and little hands have thieved from the plate. Bubbie's family clamours for her cream cheese pastry rolled in brown sugar, nuts and cinnamon. You too can make sweet memories. Bake this traditional Rugelach for your family and tell me your stories in the comment section below.
Kudos to Alice Medrich for this recipe. Her book Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy Melt In Your Mouth Cookies is an excellent addition to your library. Click on the link and get your copy.
