Traditional, cream cheese flakey chocolate filled cookie
Rewind….Do-over from today, I know the recipe said Rugelach, however it didn’t turn out that way. The final cookie appeared as a chocolate filled cream cheese roll & slice cookie. Still quite good and satisfying. Usually when I bake Rugelach I go for the traditional crescent shape and fill with prune, apricot and/or nuts and sometimes chocolate chips.
This recipe called for a rectangle shaped dough with the filling spread to either end. Then rolled, chilled and cut.
Check out the Rugelach pictured below. They are from a bakery named Marzipan. It’s in a market in central Jerusalem and could be my all-time favorite. Buttery, chocolaty, and just melt in your mouth delicious.

My brother suggested chocolate instead hahaha just like you!! Great idea!!!
Thank-you for your comments. I tried to comment on your blog but my comment was never processed.
Chocolate is a great idea. I too remember the crescent shaped rugelach. We used to live in Jerusalem and I remember Marzipan bakery, although to tell the truth I wasn’t as crazy about them as every other person I know is.
They look tasty.
Those bakery Rugelach look amazing! Love the simple chocolate filling. Great job!
I think several people used chocolate. Doh! I should’ve done that. Sounds yummy. Mine were still pretty good though.
The bakery rugelach is an amazing picture! Mine were good but I think I will go for chocolate next time.
I love the chocolate filling. I might have to do that net time.
nice–i like this! looks like the chocolate babka of cookies.
ok, so tell me this since you are on wordpress now….how did you get that pinterest “pin it” button at the bottom of the post to work. i’ve tried the code a zillion times on my post, but it doen’t give me the cute button, just the plain text with a link that doesn’t do anything. i need someone to walk me thru this…
S-Try settings/share/enable….it didn’t work at first. Everything was first disabled then began again, one at a time. Good luck!
oh my gosh–it works (i think!). before i was trying to copy some code from pinterest site into the post itself. this is so much simpler. thanks so much!
I like that you just used chocolate. Your non-traditional rugelach look tasty.
Your cookies are beautiful and I am totally in love with your stand…
Your rugelach looks absolutely delicious!
oh goodness those look delicious! I love anything with cream cheese and chocolate!
I love your pictures and chocolate is a great idea. Thank you for posting the pic from Marzipan – the rugelach are literally oozing with goodness!
I added chocolate chips to half the recipe because chocolate rugelach are my favorite. It didn’t really work here- just TOO much. I want to eat the ones from that bakery…. right now!
Wow, those chocolate ones look amazing!
Yum! I did chocolate too – so many wonderful combos to try out next time.
Oh, yes- the half of dough that I saved in the freezer will be lovingly coated with Nutella & nuts- cant wait. Yours look quite yummy!
Cream cheese and chocolate… sounds yummy! I’ll put it on my “recipes to try” list!
Oh my gosh this looks DIVINE! What would you recommend for the chocolate filling? The picture looks almost like frosting, and I’m afraid if I just tried to guess how to do it, the chocolate would be too runny. Thanks!
