When I discovered this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe I was a little baffled and thought, “what the hell is rugelach?” After pondering this dessert for about 2 seconds I decided to bust out Dorie’s book, Baking: from My Home to Yours so I could enlighten myself. I immediately thought of the nut horns that I used to munch on as a child during the holidays. After skimming the ingredients, I was pleased to find out that I did not have to make my ceremonial grocery store run prior to my Sunday bake fest. I did not have any apricot preserves, so I used the raspberry that I had on hand from a previous recipe. I also added pecans, dried cranberries, and grated chocolate. Although I was not a huge fan of these, I thought they were fun to make and it was great to broaden my horizons to try something new. The boyfriend proclaimed them to be “bland” and not my best work! Eh to each their own, I am sure some TwD bloggers found these to be delicious! For this recipe head over to Piggy’s Cooking Journal, you can also check out more rugelach by visiting the TwD blogroll!

Too bad you didn’t like them, but they look great all stacked up like that!
Your rugelach are so pretty! You know, I think they’re a little bland too, unless you roll them *very* thin to improve the dough-to-filling ration. As least, that’s what improves it for me! :)
Nice work!
I love your photos!! Sorry they weren’t your fav!!
They’re so cute! I love the sugar on top!
they look delicious. I need to finish mine tonight. I got as far as the dough before running out of steam!
Sorry you thought that they weren’t the best.
I really liked them.
Wow, those are some gorgeous rugelach you’ve got there. Sorry you weren’t a fan, but at least you didn’t need to waste a grocery run to make them!

But yours look so wonderfully flaky! Sorry you weren’t a huge fan, but I’d be willing to take the leftovers off your hands :)
wow BLAND?? i would never call these that, but then again i am a little heavy on the spices and brown sugar in stuff like this. i love rugelach, these were no different. yours are lovely!
Yes, I’m one who found them to be delicious! Sorry that you and your BF didn’t love them — yours looks gorgeous! Maybe the kugelhopf will be a bigger hit!
