These are royally good cookies, and maybe our most popular Jewish baked good at Zingerman’s Bakehouse. To make our rugelach we start with a rich cream cheese and butter pastry,fold it up withspecial fillings, sprinkle it with sugar and bake it to a golden brown. They’re not too sweet, full of flavor and really great any time of day. In this class, we’ll make three rugelach flavors—dark chocolate, almond sesame, and date—and practice two different ways to shape them (as seen in our cookbook, Zingerman's Bakehouse, available now).
