Apricot Almond Ruglach

If you’ve never tried ruglach, now is the time. It’s one of the world’s best cookies, made from a rich cream cheese wrapped around sugar, nuts, and jam. The cookies always caramelize a little while they’re baking, creating a combination of sweet, buttery flavors not duplicated in any other cookie I know. I could make (and eat!) ruglach once a week.

This version comes from my friend Bonnie Stern, Canada’
