Rugelach
"No matter how you pronounce it, rugelach as a traditional eastern European sweet often Jewish) warms the hearts and hearths of many a baker. In this version, satiny soft dough made with butter, cream cheese, and sour cream wraps around a filling of sugar, nuts, and raisins. Once baked, the dough flakes like a Danish or croissant, and the melted filling bursts with flavor. With a generous dose of cinnamon, these "little twists" fill the house with warmth and comfort...."
