About Rugelach

Rugelach is a beloved pastry originating from Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine, widely enjoyed across Europe, Israel, and North America. This crescent-shaped treat is known for its buttery, flaky dough, often enriched with cream cheese or sour cream, which gives it a tender texture. Its traditional filling includes ingredients such as cinnamon-sugar, ground nuts, jam, or raisins, and modern variations may feature chocolate or dried fruits. While Rugelach offers a delightful combination of sweetness and richness, it is not considered a health-focused food due to its high sugar, fat, and calorie content. However, it can provide small amounts of energy from carbohydrates and healthy fats from nuts, depending on the recipe. Rugelach is typically enjoyed in moderation, often as part of festive meals or celebrations. Its compact size makes it a satisfying treat for those seeking a taste of cultural tradition without overindulging.
