TwD:BwJ: Rugelach

These cookies were not as hard to make as I thought they would be! I made the levkar the first day, that was so easy!



After simmering



All mixed up!

 A bit later I made the dough, it was really sticky, but came together nicely. It looked so good with all that butter and cream cheese! The next day, I rolled out the dough (I only used half), and filled one side with Nutella, cherries, and walnuts, and the other side with levkar, cinnamon sugar mix, and walnuts. Rolled them up and into the fridge they went.

Instead of making dinner, we ordered Chinese and I baked the cookies! I am not too sure what happened to them. I baked the Nutella batch a bit too long and I don't think I put anywhere near enough Nutella on it, I could hardly taste it! The more traditional ones, I didn't bake as long and I liked better. These are definitely interesting cookies, and I have tons of ideas to use the dough in!

Thanks to our hosts this week, Jessica and Margaret!
