Rugelach

Okay, so have you ever had a cookie that's kind of like a roll? That's what rugelach is! It's a special type of cookie that's made with a dough that's rolled out into a circle, and then filled with yummy things like fruit, nuts, chocolate, or even cinnamon sugar.

Once the filling is added, the dough is rolled up like a little cinnamon roll, and then cut into little pieces. These pieces are then baked in the oven until they're golden brown and crispy.

Rugelach is a traditional Jewish dessert, but it's become popular all over the world because it's just so darn tasty! And the best part is that you can get creative with the fillings - some people like to add things like coconut flakes or even caramel sauce. The possibilities are endless!
