| Ready to roll! |
This week's
Tuesdays with Dorie challenge from
Baking with Julia is for these huge over-filled Rugelach. Although John & I make Rugelach for Christmas each year from
Dorie's Baking From My Home to Yours, they are quite different from these that are rolled in cinnamon sugar and ground nuts.
As with most of Dorie's recipes, this one allows you to make it to your own preference and taste. We used
Pear Butter from Clearbrook Farms, dates,
Craisins, walnuts, and pecans with the cinnamon sugar to fill this delicate cream cheese pastry.

The toughest part of making these is to roll them up without losing the filling! They do remind me of the holidays with the dried fruit and nut filling and cinnamon - and they smell amazing while they're baking. The end result is a rolled cookie that is best eaten with a fork & enjoyed with a cup of tea. The flavor combination is delightful!
Enjoy!

Can we have tea together today? Oh my, Susan - I think you have out done yourself! These look so delicious - I so want one right now!
ReplyDeleteWow! Rugelach is fun to make and so good! I'm working on my post right now, just had to come over to take a peek, great job-they look delicious;-)
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done. Such a pretty stand!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I was less than enthused to take these on, but I was pleasantly surprised by the alternate shaping technique offered in BWJ...
Isn't this supposed to be published on Tuesday?? hahahha looks great!
ReplyDeleteThey were tasty!
ReplyDeleteOh my!! Look at those strawberries! The Rugelach looks fantastic. I thought it smelled like Christmas while these were baking. Good stuff!!
ReplyDeleteI love your filling. I kept thinking about your previous post of these "cookies" that were so pretty. Nice to see that your generous filling stayed put while baking. I think that with a little dryer filling I could have added more. I enjoyed this project and it looks like you did too. Love those strawberries!
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely !!!!! Loved these cookies ..... !!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThese make great Christmas gifts!

Yours look perfect, Susan!!! I'll have to check out Dorie's other recipe...as Bill loved these :)
ReplyDeleteYummy! These were fun to make and very easy putting them in the fridge for 24 hours of chilling!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea the pear butter. They ended up amazing looking; too bad I can´t taste one! By the way, the strawberries seem a perfect match to the pastries!
ReplyDeletethis looks so so good and yummy.

I really wanted to do the crescents, but by the time I got to the assembly, I was happy just to roll these babies up and shove them in the oven. I love how yours are positively coated in the sugar cinnamony goodness. :)
ReplyDeletePear filling sounds delicious!

Love your filling combo Susan! So envious of your access to fresh produce. Those strawberries look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe combination of pear and dates sound great.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Susan! Thanks so much for baking along with me this week! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the photography and presentation! I got two versions of rugelach, one of yours and the other Liz's combination. Both sounds interesting and would want to give a try.
ReplyDeleteThe look great!

ReplyDeleteYour rugelach looks so pretty on your stand, Susan. Now that I have made them I can understand why you make these during the holidays. They are so delicious.
