Rugelach, my favorite, fluffy, jam-filled pastry, is a lot harder to pronounce than it is to actually make.

I found this recipe on RealSimple.com. 

Ingredients:

6 Tablespoons of granulated sugar
2 15-ounce packages of refrigerated pie crusts
2/3 cup of jam (flavor of your choice)

Directions:

1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees.

2. Sprinkle the work surface with 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Unfold 1 of the crusts and place it on the sugar. Roll it to an even thickness. Spread half the jam evenly and thinly {note: definitely follow this part. must be a thing layer to avoid any excess burning in the oven} over the crust. Roll the dough tightly and sprinkle with about 1/2 tablespoon of the sugar.

3. Cut the roll into 3/4 inch thick slices. Then place them sugar side up on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, spaced about 1.5 inches apart. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

4. Bake until golden, about 22-26 minutes. Peel the cookies off the parchment paper and set on wire rack to cool.

5. Enjoy delicious and easy cookies!
