Cinnamon Walnut RugelachThese charming crescent shaped cookies are flaky, tender, bite-sized Jewish treat sure to please. They house the just-right amount of nuts, cinnamon and sugar. Making this cookie can be a bit tedious and messy but well worth the effort. Rugalach come in many flavors, but this is my personal favorite. |
