Transform traditional sweet rugelach into savory holiday finger food for a twist on tradition.
Ingredients:
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes, softened
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes, softened
  • 2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose or white whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons water, if necessary
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 4 oz chèvre (goat) cheese, crumbled
  • 1 heaping tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
Instructions:
  • Prepare the dough by combining cream cheese and butter in a food processor until smooth. Add flour, salt, and pepper, then process until fully mixed. If the dough is too crumbly, gradually add water until it comes together, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Form the dough into a ball, then split it in half. Wrap each half in plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to 3 days.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix the filling ingredients until well combined; set aside.
  • Roll out one piece of dough on a lightly floured surface into a 10x4-inch rectangle. Cut the dough into 5 (2-inch) strips, then cut each strip in half to make 10 squares. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Place a generous teaspoon of filling onto each square. Fold two opposite corners over the filling, ensuring the edges overlap. Arrange on cookie sheets with the overlapped edges facing up.
  • Bake until golden brown, then allow to cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
