    My dough was a little sticky, so I added a bit more flour. They turned out great!

  • Fabiola Batz

    I had some leftover apricot jam, so I used that as the filling. It was delicious!

  • Aida Armstrong

    Chilling the rugelach before baking is crucial! It really helps them hold their shape.

  • Kelvin Grady

    I substituted chocolate chips for the raisins, and they were a huge hit with my kids!

  • Thora Kiehn

    I accidentally used salted butter, and they were still good, just a little saltier. I will use unsalted butter next time.

  • Lon Ferryhackett

    These were amazing! The dough was so easy to work with, and the filling was perfect. I'll definitely be making these again.
