When I discovered this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe I was a little baffled and thought, “what the hell is rugelach?” After pondering this dessert for about 2 seconds I decided to bust out Dorie’s book, Baking: from My Home to Yours so I could enlighten myself. I immediately thought of the nut horns that I used to munch on as a child during the holidays. After skimming the ingredients, I was pleased to find out that I did not have to make my ceremonial grocery store run prior to my Sunday bake fest. I did not have any apricot preserves, so I used the raspberry that I had on hand from a previous recipe. I also added pecans, dried cranberries, and grated chocolate. Although I was not a huge fan of these, I thought they were fun to make and it was great to broaden my horizons to try something new. The boyfriend proclaimed them to be “bland” and not my best work! Eh to each their own, I am sure some TwD bloggers found these to be delicious! For this recipe head over to Piggy’s Cooking Journal, you can also check out more rugelach by visiting the TwD blogroll!

Yes, I’m one who found them to be delicious! Sorry that you and your BF didn’t love them — yours looks gorgeous! Maybe the kugelhopf will be a bigger hit!
wow BLAND?? i would never call these that, but then again i am a little heavy on the spices and brown sugar in stuff like this. i love rugelach, these were no different. yours are lovely!
But yours look so wonderfully flaky! Sorry you weren’t a huge fan, but I’d be willing to take the leftovers off your hands
Wow, those are some gorgeous rugelach you’ve got there. Sorry you weren’t a fan, but at least you didn’t need to waste a grocery run to make them!

Sorry you thought that they weren’t the best.
I really liked them.
they look delicious. I need to finish mine tonight. I got as far as the dough before running out of steam!
They’re so cute! I love the sugar on top!
I love your photos!! Sorry they weren’t your fav!!
Your rugelach are so pretty! You know, I think they’re a little bland too, unless you roll them *very* thin to improve the dough-to-filling ration. As least, that’s what improves it for me!
Nice work!
Too bad you didn’t like them, but they look great all stacked up like that!
sorry they weren’t your favorite, but they look perfect!! love your pics!
Sorry you didn’t enjoy them, but they look AMAZING! Great work!
WOW, Jamie! You must have circus talents to balance those in a pyramid!
They’re beautiful!
Yours look great. Sorry you weren’t such a fan! I’m a fellow TWD baker, and I was thinking that it would be nice if we all could chip in and get Laurie some small token/gift for all the work she does. Would you be willing to contribute? If I can get enough people, it would only be about $1 per person. No pressure

Well, even though they weren’t all that you hoped for in taste they photographed well. That first shot was a winner and as you said you learned something new!

After all the good stuff you put in, I’m surprised he thought they were bland.
Oh well, everyone likes something different!
Love all your pictures. I liked the rugelach but it wasn’t my favorite dorie recipe. I think the filling leakage turned me off. HAHA. Sorry it wasn’t a favorite yours either but there’s always next week!

I’m sorry you guys didn’t love them but they look absolutely beautiful stacked up like that!
That’s a fun way to photograph the rugelach by stacking them up! Sorry that you didn’t enjoy the cookies though. Thanks for baking with me this week!
I am totally in agreement with you on these – they’re just okay. But yours sure do look pretty!
Gorgeous pictures!!!

Your rugelach looks fantastic! These are at the top of my baking list every Christmas. I like the addition of grated chocolate. Wish I had one with my cup of coffee. OK, maybe two.
