RUGELACH
Steps:
- Cream the cheese and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, the salt, and vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour and mix until just combined. Dump the dough out onto a well-floured board and roll it into a ball. Cut the ball in quarters, wrap each piece in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- To make the filling, combine 6 tablespoons of granulated sugar, the brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, the raisins, and walnuts.
- On a well-floured board, roll each ball of dough into a 9-inch circle. Spread the dough with 2 tablespoons apricot preserves and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the filling. Press the filling lightly into the dough. Cut the circle into 12 equal wedges?cutting the whole circle in quarters, then each quarter into thirds. Starting with the wide edge, roll up each wedge. Place the cookies, points tucked under, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Brush each cookie with the egg wash. Combine 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle on the cookies. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack and let cool.

Steps:
- 1. Put the flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor. All ingredients should be very cold. Add the pieces of the butter and process for approximately 10 seconds, or just until the mixture resembles coarse meal. 2. Add ice water, drop by drop, through the feed tube with the machine running, just until the dough holds together without being wet or sticky. Do not process more than 30 seconds. Test the dough at this point by squeezing a small amount together. If it is crumbly, add a bit more water. 3. Turn the dough out onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Press the dough into a flat disc with your fists. Wrap the dough in the plastic and chill for at least an hour. 4. Preheat oven to 350. 5. Divide dough into four equal pieces. Work with one at a time, returning the others to refrigerator to keep cold. 6. Roll dough out, onto a piece of plastic wrap, into a rectangle, approximately, 12" x 4". Brush with some melted butter. 7. Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 of the brown sugar, cinnamon and nuts, if using. 8. Roll dough into a log, starting at the long side. Slice into pieces, about 1" wide. Place on greased cookie sheet, or baking liner on cookie sheet, cut sides facing up. 9. Repeat with remaining dough. Bake approximately, 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Steps:

- Spread the dough evenly with the jam. Cut into 16 wedges. Roll up each wedge, starting at the end opposite the pointy tip. Arrange on the baking sheet, pointy-tip down.

SPINACH AND FETA RUGELACH
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Set the frozen spinach out on a plate at room temperature to soften slightly.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and a few turns of black pepper and cook until fragrant, 1 more minute. Add the flour and stir to combine, then stir in the spinach and a good pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the spinach is heated through and the mixture is combined. Stir in the feta, heavy cream, lemon juice and hot sauce, then remove it from the heat. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
- Roll out half of the pie dough on a lightly floured surface until it is a large round, about 1/4 inch thick. (If using store-bought pre-rolled dough, simply unroll it onto your surface.) Spread on half the spinach mixture in an even layer so that it covers the dough. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough like a pizza into 8 triangular wedges. Roll up each section starting at the wide end. Transfer the rugelach to the lined baking sheets, placing them 1 inch apart. Repeat with the other half of the dough and spinach filling.
- Lightly brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly and enjoy. Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in a toaster oven.
