Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 honey, Have you ever made Rugelech (pronounced Rug-a-leh if you can't make that phlemmy sound at the end)? It's actually a pastry/cookie that traditional at all Jewish holidays except Passover. Almost like a Lindsah tart with jelly in the middle only it's rolled up. I'd be happy to send you the recipe if you wish. It's fun to make, kids always get a kick out of it because it can be very messy and you can use all kinds of flavors of jellies or chocolate inside it. Let me know. Until then, take care and be well.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Ellen, If you don't mind I would love to have the recipe. I have heard of it, but never made it. As my boys say the bigger mess you make the better the food. I don't know about that but they sound delicious, so you can use different fillings? Is there one filling to use that's better than the others? Thank you, I will let you know how they turn out. You take care also, ________________________________ To: Stillsdisease Sent: Saturday, December 6, 2008 9:10:20 AM Subject: Re: Cookies OT honey, Have you ever made Rugelech (pronounced Rug-a-leh if you can't make that phlemmy sound at the end)?

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 , I thought about sending it to you personally but then I figured, maybe someone else would like to try making it so I'm posting the recipe. By the way, it's the same ingredients for Hamantashen (also known as the sows ear), just a different shape. Oh, and I should tell you, this is NOT very healthy. Filling: Any flavored jelly or preserve or melting chocolate Most popular are apricot and strawberry Dough: 1/4 pound butter 1 cup sugar 3 egg yolks 1/2 pint sour cream 3 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/8 teaspoon orange zest Cream butter and sugar together until well mixed. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks. Add beaten egg yolks to the butter-sugar mixture, then add the sour cream. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and baking soda; add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture. Then add the vanilla and orange zest and mix well. Cover securely with wax paper or plastic wrap and chill in freezer for one hour. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees (now for the fun) Use flour to keep dough from sticking to surface and roll out 1/4 inch thick and cut into 3 1/2 inch rounds. Place heaping teaspoon of " filling " in center of round and roll dough to look like a thick straw. Place on greased baking sheet and bake for approx. 20 minutes or until lightly brown and flaky. By the way, it still tastes good even if it's not flaky and every oven is different so watch then closely. Good luck! Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Ellen, Thank you for the recipe, NOT healthy, even better. Besides chocolate, we love strawberry. Sounds soooo good, I will let you know how it all turns out, we will have to do a trial run to test them Ha ha! ________________________________ To: Stillsdisease Sent: Saturday, December 6, 2008 9:57:46 AM Subject: Re: Cookies OT , I thought about sending it to you personally but then I figured, maybe someone else would like to try making it so I'm posting the recipe..

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 , I am so happy you have a lot of energy..now, can you come on over and clean my house too!! j.k. Diane..42 Hey everyone, I am on a roll this morning, I got a steroid IV yesterday and have all this energy I need to get rid of, house is very clean this morning. But, here's the question, I love to cook and bake, I am interested if there are regional recipes for cookies or any other treats for christmas. I live in Arkansas, and as far as I know we have the normal selections of sugar cookies, gingerbread, and we use a lot of different kinds of nuts in recipes. Or maybe any traditions that anyone would like to share. Our family's holiday is Christmas, it usually starts about 2 weeks before Christmas eve, everyone gets together at my parents house, there usually is around 30 people there at a time. One of our traditions is that we have a cookie exchange the weekend before Christmas, and to see who can bring the most unique cookie recipe. Another thing we do is all the grandchildren make a homemade Christmas card and we display them all over my parents house, the kids think its neat, rules are no computer generated cards they all have to be hand made. I am rambling, sorry, everyone have a Merry Christmas. Remember laughter is contagious, give a smile to someone today!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Diane, Sure, where do you live? LOL I think I am fixing to crash and burn, I hate that when you get a big dose of steroids you get all that energy and then all the sudden its like you hit a brick wall. I know tomorrow will not be any fun, I am starting to get frustrated again over the wait to start my new meds, hopefully Tuesday I won't have any fever and WBC will be back down some so I can start. Just being on the steroids is a bummer. I am fixing to make the cookies that Ellen gave me the recipe for and try not to eat them all. Lots of hugs, ________________________________ To: Stillsdisease Sent: Saturday, December 6, 2008 4:14:26 PM Subject: Re: Cookies OT , I am so happy you have a lot of energy..now, can you come on over and clean my house too!! j.k.
