I made these twice at Christmas last year. The first batch didn't quite turn out, but the second was HEAVEN. I'll be making a big batch again this year.

Hi, Yelena, and welcome. What a lovely note. Thank you! I'm very happy that you stumbled upon this site, and happier still that you enjoyed the recipe. I wish I had some rugelach in my freezer right now. Or, better yet, hot out of the oven and on my table! Thanks again for reporting back. Have a great week.

Hi there.
The other day I was craving rugelach, and did a google image search to find a recipe that matched my mental image... something nutty, raspberry-y, and golden. That's how I came across your site. Thanks Jess, for your great recipe & instructions. I'd never made anything quite like this before, but it was easy & fun. The resulting rugelach came out beautiful and almost too good. :) I'd never had fresh rugelach before either. This batch fed the two of us and some coworkers for days, with some still in the freezer - but even that's going fast. :) Next time I think I'll split it into 2 versions -- 1/2 with nuts + raspberry, and 1/2 with nuts + chocolate. Yum.

Hi, YP. Thank you for writing. I will gladly join you in raising a glass to our grandmas. It sounds like we both were blessed with grandmothers eminently worth toasting!

Your post about your grandmother was so well written that I nearly felt a tear coming on. It reminds me of the memories I have of my own grandmother. We still bake and cook in the kitchen together. I can't imagine life without my grandma's influence on it. Here's to all grandmothers who have taught us so much in the kitchen, but more importantly, about life! I can't wait to try this recipe!!

Thank you, dear Jada. Sorry about those chills. You, on the other hand, warm my heart. It's good to know that there are other garage sniffers out there.

Elishag - I know. I kind of stink. But hopefully those cherry almond chunkies and coconut macaroons the other night made up for it?

Julie - Homemade apricot jam? Oh, does that sound good! I would love to have a seat at your table when those babies come out of the oven!

Hi, finsmom - I hope that you and your husband enjoy.

Thank you, carmencooks. Speaking of sweet, that Nutella cake over on your site looks quite scrumptious. Glad to hear that you're a rugelach fan!

Megan - xx to you too. And oo, while we're at it. About the rugelach, perhaps you just haven't yet tasted one worth liking...?

Ingrid - Thank you for your lovely note. It really is quite a thing to have such special memories of our wonderful grandmas. We are so lucky.

And hello there, Linsey. Your kind words always mean so much to me. Thank you.

That was a beautiful post. Thank you for sharing your story as well as the recipe. It made me think of my wonderful grandma who has only been gone for a year.

I can't believe you posted these rugalach on Pesach!!! You are killing me! And by the way, I have had the pleasure of tasting Jess' rugalach and they are amazing- which makes this even worse :)

2009-04-13T20:18:00.000-04:00

Wow, what a beautiful essay! It gave me chills. Really, it did. (Good thing I have a hot cup of coffee next to me with which to combat the chills!) This post made me long not only for rugelach (yum!!), but also for the smell of my own grandparents' garage.

Lovely, lovely!

2009-04-13T18:30:00.000-04:00

Hello, Hadley. She was so very, very beautiful, my grandma. I have a picture of her in a long, white, strapless dress perched on my mantle. She stands there with my grandfather's arms wrapped around her tiny waist - it's enough to take your breath away.

And yes, oh raspberry! My friend Sunny, who typically adores chocolate, actually said that these rugelach would have been just perfect with the raspberry jam and toasted pecans alone.

2009-04-13T17:33:00.000-04:00

Those look almost as gorgeous as your grandmother sounds! Oh, raspberry! It sounds so good!

Hi, Colin's Mom. I'm so pleased to hear that your Boston trip was a success. What fun it must have been for your husband to be whisked away for a romantic weekend! I guess you'll just have to make a repeat trip to Boston so that you can give Hi-Rise a try.

And Katie, my sweet! You're so great to pipe up. I miss her too. It is hard to believe that it has been almost six years. Oh, and by the way, I of course failed to mention one of the best rituals involved in our holiday visits - sleepovers with you!

ah dear. You almost made me cry at work! Seriously...

2009-04-13T15:54:00.000-04:00

ah dear. You almost made me cry at work! Seriously, though thank you for your beautiful tribute to Grandma. Made me miss her quite a bit.

That rugelach looks really good! I just wanted to give you a post-Boston recap. We had a blast, my husband was really surprised, and we ate really, really well! The weather was great up until Saturday when it got cold, rainy, and windy - yuck. I didn't make it to Hi-Rise as you had suggested, but I did take a $10 cab ride (one way) to Flour, making those some seriously expensive pastries! I've only sampled a scone thus far and I wasn't impressed. The brownie smudged on the box so I ate that part and it was really good. I was really sad that they had sold out of their sticky buns by the time I got there. We also went to Modern and had a cannoli..and maybe a few other items (: The cannoli was good but the Napoleon left a lot to be desired. Overall it was a great trip and I want to thank you for your recommendations!
