How to Make Mini Chocolate Or Fruit Rugelach

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add 4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt, mixing until a dough forms.
  5. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thickness.
  7. Cut dough into 3-inch circles using a cookie cutter or knife.
  8. For fruit rugelach: Spread a teaspoon of your favorite jam on each circle. For chocolate rugelach: Melt 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of heavy cream to make a ganache and spread on each circle.
  9. Optional: Sprinkle with chopped nuts and dried fruit.
  10. Roll up each circle starting from one edge.
