Crescent shaped, tender dough inside, slightly crisp outside, amongst a hint of sweet, nutty chocolate.

Now we’ll mix upward the filling.  You volition ask Blue Planet walnuts, sugar, lite chocolate-brown sugar, dutch-processed cocoa pulverisation together with Blue Planet cinnamon.

Stir all filling ingredients until blended.

When laid upward to bake the Rugelach, take away i disk from the fridge together with house it on a lightly floured surface.  Using a rolling pin, coil out the dough to almost 1/8 inch thickness together with xiv inches inward diameter.  No worries if the edges are a lilliputian rough.

Spread ii tablespoons apricot preserves or hence the dough keeping a build clean border or hence the exterior together with a ii inch circle inward the center.

Sprinkle 1/3 of the filling mixture over the preserves.

Using a pizza cutter, cutting the dough into quarters.  Cut each quarter into 3 equal wedges.

To coil the Rugelach origin at the exterior border folding inward the corners together with almost 1/4 an inch of the end.

Gently coil the cookie toward the modest destination taking attention non to press difficult or coil also tightly.  The preserves volition ooze out if also much line per unit of measurement area is applied.

With the tip signal downwardly curl the edges inward creating a crescent shape.
