Yield 32 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
3 tablespoons sugar
12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 large egg, for egg wash
1 tablespoon poppy seed
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1 tablespoon dried garlic flakes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 large egg
4 scallions, thinly sliced, divided

Steps:

In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add cream cheese and continue mixing, 2 minutes more, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Reduce speed to low and add flour, salt, and pepper. Mix until just incorporated.
Divide dough in half and form into two discs. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl stir together poppy seeds, sesame seeds, onion flakes, garlic flakes, and salt and set aside. In a medium bowl, stir together cream cheese, egg, and 1⁄2 sliced scallions and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove chilled dough from refrigerator and allow to temper, 15-30 minutes. Unwrap first disc and transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Lightly flour surface of dough and, using a floured rolling pin, roll out dough to an approximately 14" diameter circle. Using a 12" round cake pan or large bowl as a guide, trim edges of dough to form a neat circle. Repeat with remaining dough.
Divide cream cheese mixture between the two circles and spread into a thin layer over each. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning and scatter remaining scallions on top. Using a pizza cutter, divide each circle into 16 wedges. Starting with the wide edge, roll each wedge into a crescent shape and transfer to two parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 2" apart. Transfer cookies to refrigerator and chill, 45 minutes to an hour.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 t. water. Remove cookies from refrigerator and brush lightly with egg wash. Sprinkle with additional everything bagel seasoning and bake, rotating once halfway through, until golden, 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly on baking sheets, 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

BEST-EVER RUGELACH

Best-Ever Rugelach image

This recipe comes from the Washington Post, and it is DELICIOUS! I've made rugelach with cream cheese before, but hadn't heard of making it with sour cream. Well, these are by far the best rugelach I've ever made or tasted! They're a bit labor-intensive (as all regelach are, really), but soo worth it! I didn't use all of the filling, but use your discretion. The dough needs 1 to 2 hours' refrigeration time (included in passive work time). STORE: Baked rugelach are best kept between layers of wax paper and loosely covered with aluminum foil (the object is to keep the pastries dry; do not store under a cake dome or closed container). The rich dough freezes well for up to 4 months; freeze unbaked rugelach on a baking sheet until they are firm, then transfer to heavy-duty resealable plastic food storage freezer bags; there is no need to defrost them before baking.

Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 lb unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups sour cream
4 1/2 cups flour, plus more for the work surface
1 1/3 cups raspberries or 1 1/3 cups apricot jam
2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups finely chopped nuts (optional)
4 cups raisins, plumped in warm water for 10 minutes, then dried
1 large egg
1 pinch sugar
confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)

Steps:

For the dough: Combine the melted butter, sugar, salt, baking powder, sour cream and flour in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer; beat on low speed until a ball forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll in a bit of additional flour, as necessary, to make a soft but manageable dough. Divide into 4 portions, press each into a flattened disk and wrap in wax paper. Place them in a large resealable plastic food storage bag; seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Stack 2 large baking sheets together and line the top sheet with parchment paper. You will need to repeat this procedure for each batch.
For the filling: Roll out each portion of dough into a 12-inch circle on a well-floured work surface. Smear on the jam, covering the surface of the dough, and then evenly sprinkle on the brown sugar, cinnamon, nuts, if using, and raisins. (TIP: I CUT THE PIECES FIRST AND THEN SPREAD THE FILLING INGREDIENTS ON THEM INDIVIDUALLY, WHICH I FOUND REDUCES MESSINESS. EITHER METHOD WORKS, THOUGH.) Use a pastry or pizza wheel to cut the dough into 12 wedges. Roll up each wedge snugly and place on the lined baking sheet.
For assembly: Whisk together the egg and sugar in a small bowl; brush the rugelach with the egg wash. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the pastries are nicely browned. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, then dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
