How to Make Jammy Rugulah

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a disk.
  7. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  8. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle.
  9. Spread the jam evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  10. If using, sprinkle with nuts or chocolate chips.
  11. Cut the circle into 12 equal wedges.
  12. Roll up each wedge, starting from the wide end.
  13. Place the rugelach on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
  14. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  15. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
