Unconventional Whole Wheat Rugelach
OK so it has been a week since I have posted a recipe, oops, SORRY, a lot going on……
My house is a construction zone right now.
They are finishing the basement and redoing the kitchen. My mom just came into town from Spain, I am trying to study for my entrance medical exam when ever I can and with the kids…… well not enough time in the day to do everything.
I think I am going crazy with so much going on. Hopefully the construction will be done in the next couple of days and things can get back to normal. I really need 28 hours in a day, that would be much better :-)
Anyhow, in the next week or so it should get a bit better. Not to my usual posting until I am done with my exam. I am really missing all of the baking though!!
A little bit about the posting.
I am still experimenting with the dough as we know that rugulah contains quite a bit of butter. This time I decreased the amount of butter slightly and the dough was perfect. Next time I will still decrease the amount even further and see what happens, hopefully good things!
Enjoy!!
Here you can see the first step for assembly of these cookies :-) You can add whatever preserves you may like as well as which ever nuts you like
Not the conventional way of folding, cutting and baking these cookies but this is a much easier and faster way, my kind of thing!!

Wow…you are one busy woman!
Another yummy looking recipe. I promised my hubby cookies today but I think this might have to take the place! I bet orange marmalade would be yummy! Maybe a touch of cocoa added to the filling. I’m so excited to try this!
And thanks for suggesting an easier way to role them!
Have a great visit with your mom!
Madre mía Myriam ya veo que vas liadísima, pero que buena la visita no??? y las reformas piensa que una vez este todo estarás encantada.
Yo estoy encantada con estas galletas que cuando pueda descifrar las cantidades…niña yo es que voy con gramos, las intentaré hacer…una delicia.
muchos besos
This is such a creative, and healthier, way to make rugelach! Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos and introducing me to something new! :)
I’ve been meaning to do more baking and I’m all about the unconventional! Will be trying this out this weekend!
