Time 2h

Yield 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter
6 ounces cream cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup orange marmalade
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup chocolate chips
3 tablespoons ground walnuts

Steps:

  • Beat the butter with the cream cheese with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the flour and using hands make a thick dough. Make three balls with the dough, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Mix the brown sugar with the cinnamon, raisins, walnuts and the chocolate chips.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator let stand in room temperature for a while and make 3-mm thick circles with each piece on a floured surface.
  • Divide each circle into quarters and then eighths and sixteenths, until we have 16 equal triangles. Coat with marmalade and sprinkle with the sugar mixture. Roll each triangle up, starting from the wide side, to make crescents.
  • Bake at 360°F for 25-30 minutes.
  • Dust, if desired with icing sugar, when they are still hot.

MAPLE-NUT RUGELACH COOKIES

Tried these cookies a few years ago for Christmas, and have been making them ever since. Looks like you put a lot of work into them, but they are really not very difficult. These are always the first to go on our cookie tray, and I often end up making extra batches. (I made 4 batches this year!) Prep. time includes refrigeration time.
