    • Ingredients

    Serves:

      • Dough
      • 1/2 of a 7-oz tube almond paste
      • 11/2 cups all-purpose flour
      • 2 Tbsp packed light-brown sugar
      • 1/4 tsp salt
      • 3/4 stick (6 Tbsp) unsalted butter, cut in pieces
      • 1 brick (3 oz) cream cheese
      • Filling
      • 1 cup toasted almonds, very finely chopped
      • 1 cup frozen or fresh cranberries, very finely chopped
      • 2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
      • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
      • Topping
      • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
      • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
      • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

    Directions

    Dough: Grate almond paste on large holes of a box grater into food processor bowl. Add flour, sugar and salt; process until almond paste is incorporated into flour. Add butter and cream cheese; pulse until moist crumbs form. Transfer mixture to work surface and press together and knead until a dough forms. Divide dough in thirds. On a lightly floured surface, shape each portion into a 1/2-in.-thick disk. Wrap separately in plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour.

    Heat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper, nonstick foil or reusable nonstick liner.

    Filling: Combine ingredients in a medium bowl. On floured surface, roll 1 disk dough (keep rest refrigerated) into a 9-in. circle; trim to an even 81/2-in. circle. Spread 1/3 the filling (a scant 1/2 cup) over round; lightly press onto dough to adhere. With pizza wheel or knife, cut in 12 wedges. With spatula, slide 1 wedge out from round. Roll up from wide edge to point. Repeat with remaining wedges. Place point side down about 2 in. apart on prepared baking sheet.

    Topping: Brush rugelach with egg. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a cup; sprinkle over cookies.

    Bake 21 to 23 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool on rack on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.

    Planning Tip: Rugelach can be made up to 4 days ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
