Today I baked Rugelach. A Jewish pastry specialty. These are small nutmegs made from a short pastry similar to dough but which usually still contains cream cheese. I have chosen vegan cream cheese, which can be found today in any well-stocked supermarket. These cookies are great for Christmas.

Divide into 12 pieces of cake with a pizza cutter/ knife and roll up into small croissants (start with the long side). Place the rolls point-side down onto the baking sheets. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Let it cool down and dust with icing sugar if you like.
Keep well packaged up to 5 days.

Note: If you do not have a food processor. Spread the flour on a work surface, add butter and cream cheese and chop with a coarse knife or pastry cutter. Then quickly knead with your hands together. Next step up.

Enjoy. Kathrin
