This was my introduction to rugelach cookies and I was not disappointed! They’re delicious, guilt free bites. I thought they had just the right amount of jam/sweetness and walnut bits, wrapped in melt-in-your-mouth dough. I’ve tried the variety of flavors - my favorites are the fruity ones and Pandan. Definitely buying some for the family to enjoy for the holidays.

I was lucky enough to be gifted a delicious batch of rugelach from Little Twist Bakery! Or rather… my four-year old daughter was. But I didn’t tell her about them… instead I kept them to myself and had them for breakfast every day for at least a week! The dough was super flaky without being dry. And the filling had just the right amount of sweetness with a pinch of savory. I have a sweet tooth but I try to have savory breakfasts most of the time. So it was a win! About to put in my next order but I’ll get extra and share this time.
