Raspberry Pecan Rugelach

Directions

1. Place flour, salt, and butter in a food processor. Process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then add the cottage cheese. Continue processing until the dough comes together. Divide dough into four equal portions and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
2. Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
3. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Roll out each portion of dough on a floured surface to an 1/8 inch thick circle. Spread 1 tablespoon of raspberry spreadable fruit, then sprinkle with the sugar mixture and 1/4 cup of pecans on each circle. Gently press the filling into the dough using a rolling pin. Cut each circle into 16 wedges. Roll each wedge, starting with the wide end Place the cookie point-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

"This is the recipe I've also had and it is so easy. The results are great. I've filled mine with nutella, honey cinnamon & walnuts, apricot preserves. That is 3 separate batches not all on one! Get ..." See morecreative, but keep the filling thin or it will ooze and stick. Glad I have an easy place to find this now, instead of digging through my index card recipes!"

"Enjoyed this recipe. The dough, though insanely sitcky so use flour on all surfaces, was gorgeous. It was so silky and smooth. I think the filling overpowered the dough a little, but still delicious. ..." See more Might try it again with a lighter preserve like an orange or lemon. I also wonder if the dough could be used for savory recipes since it contains no sugar? Might have to experiment with that. Also: Would be fun to make with kids if you dont mind washing sticky fingers afterward. The construction part is like making little pizzas. Very enjoyable."
