Jam Filled Spelt Rugelach

Servings: 0

Ingredients

  • 1 stick 4 oz. room temperature salted organic butter
  • 1/2 cup 4 oz. plain organic Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons organic cane sugar
  • 2 cups organic spelt or all-purpose flour
  • your favorite jam raspberry and apricot are traditional
  • powdered sugar for dusting the rugelach- optional

Instructions

  • 1. Place butter and yogurt in the bowl of an electric stand mixer and cream until light. Add sugar and flour and mix until they are combined and a dough is formed.
  • 2. Roll the dough into a ball and then cut into two equal pieces. Roll each of these into a ball, wrap in plastic, and store in the refrigerator overnight.
  • 3. Remove dough balls from refrigerator 15-30 minutes before you want to make the cookies and preheat the oven to 3oo degrees F.
  • 4. On a well-floured surface (I used all-purpose flour for this), roll each ball of dough into a circle. Spread the dough with a thin layer of jam. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the circle into 8-12 equal triangles/wedges (depending on how big you want the cookies to be).
  • 5. Starting with the wide edge, roll each triangle up, and place the cookies, pointy edge tucked under, on a baking sheet lined with a silpat or parchment paper. If you like, you can "curve" the cookies into crescent shapes.
  • 6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack and let cool.
