You might not believe you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes rugelach but it can happen. It is pivotal to not eat rugelach or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself high calorie food one day per week. I eat a low calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories each day, and then one day, I eat whatever I like – within moderation of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 4 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise habits or taken any vitamins or diet aids. I have only been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day a week.

I also believe it makes things easier if you have professional support when trying to lose weight and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to help you monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Rugelach

Posted by bettyboop50 at recipegoldmine.com April 27, 2001

My Mother always made rugelach and boy, were they delicious. You can’t eat just one of these scrumptious little pastries. I have them with
apricot preserves and almonds, which is delicious (love the combination of apricot and almonds). I can’t wait to try them.

Cream Cheese Pastry
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled
8 ounces cream cheese, chilled
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup seedless raspberry preserves
3/4 cup dried currants
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the butter, cream cheese, sugar, and flour. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, combine well until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Add the yolks to the flour mixture and mix until smooth. Form the dough into three equal pieces. Form each piece into a round ball and on a clean work surface, with the palm of your hand, flatten the balls slightly and wrap each individually in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 5 or 6 hours or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon and set aside.

On a floured board or pastry cloth, roll one piece of the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle about 1/4 inch thick. Brush with 1/4 cup raspberry preserves. Sprinkle with one third each of the cinnamon sugar, currants, and walnuts. With a long sharp knife, cut the circle into 16 wedges. Starting at the wide end, roll up each wedge jellyroll style. Place each piece, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each piece. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling ingredients.

Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

Makes 48 cookies.
