Rugelach is a bite size Jewish cookie made with a cream chees and butter pastry rolled around a filling of nuts, poppy seed past or jam. It originated in Poland where the original filling was lekvar (prune Paste).In Yiddish rugelach means "little twists." this little cookie is addictively delicious! Created by Gretchen Sorin who made 600 pieces this past summer for her daughter's wedding.
