What are Rugelach?
Rugelach are simply rolled cookies. However they are anything but simple. Rugelach, which literally means “little twists” in Yiddish, has Jewish Ashkenazic (Polish) origins. In Europe the dough was made with yeast, but American Jews later introduced a cream cheese based rugelach dough. Rugelach dough is rolled around sweet fillings such as chocolate, raisins and nuts, or preserves. Suzanne’s Sweets uses only the freshest ingredients and we’ve put our own little twist on the recipe while remaining true to tradition.
