• cream cheese
• white sugar
• vanilla extract
• all-purpose flour
• salt
• brown sugar
• cinnamon
• apricot
• white sugar
• milk
• white sugar
• cinnamon

Instructions

1. 1 In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese. Beat in 1/4 cup of sugar and vanilla. Combine the flour and salt; stir until well blended. Turn out dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and press together to form a ball. Divide the ball into 4 portions, wrap each one in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
2. 2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small bowl, toss together the brown sugar, 6 tablespoons white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and the chopped dried apricots. Set aside.
3. 3 Roll out each portion of dough into a circle about 1/8 inch thick. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the apricot preserves over each circle, then sprinkle each one with some of the dried apricot mixture. Using a knife, cut each circle into 12 wedges like a pizza. Starting at the wide end, roll each piece individually up towards the point. Bend the ends around to form a crescent. If dough is sticky, return it to the refrigerator to chill. Place rugelach point sides down, two inches apart into a parchment lined or greased baking sheet. Brush with milk then sprinkle with a mixture of the remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar.
4. 4 Bake for 16 to 18 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden. Rotate the cookie sheet halfway through to ensure even baking. Remove from baking sheet to cool on wire racks.

Ingredients

• ✓ apricot preserves
• butter
• sugar
• egg
• vanilla extract
• all-purpose flour
• baking powder
• salt
• red food coloring
• almond
• confectioners' sugar
• egg
• lemon juice
• almond extract

Instructions

1. 1 Cream butter and 1 cup sugar together. Beat in 3 eggs, one at a time. Mix in vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt gently. Add milk if needed.
2. 2 Divide batter into 2 equal parts. Add food coloring to 1 part to make a deep pink color. Grease two 7 inch square pans. Spread batters into pans.
3. 3 Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until an inserted wooden pick comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let stand in pans 5 minutes. Turn out on racks to cool.
4. 4 Trim edges from both cakes. Cut each cake lengthwise into 4 strips as wide as the cake is thick. Trim to make strips match. Heat jam slightly. Spread on sides to glue 2 pink and 2 white strips together checkerboard fashion. Spread all 4 sides of completed cake with jam. Repeat with remaining pink and white stripes. Makes two cakes.
5. 5 To Make Almond Paste: Mix almonds, confectioners' sugar, egg, lemon juice, and almond extract together. Knead until smooth, adding a bit of lemon juice or water if too dry to roll. Add only 1/2 teaspoon at a time. It will be stiff. Divide into 2 equal parts.
6. 6 Roll 1/2 of paste 1/8 inch or so thick on a surface lightly dusted with confectioners' sugar. Cut to fit length of cake, and long enough to cover 4 sides leaving ends uncovered. Lay cake on one end of paste. Wrap to completely enclose all 4 sides of cake pinching paste to seal. Roll in granulated sugar. Place with seal underneath on serving plate, or store in plastic bag. Repeat for second cake. Chill. Slice thinly to serve.

• butter
• confectioners sugar
• confectioners' sugar
• egg
• white sugar
• white sugar
• cake flour
• water
• white sugar
• dark rum
• water
• semisweet chocolate
• heavy cream

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan. Line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper; grease the paper.
2. 2 Make the cake: Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
3. 3 Beat butter and 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Mix in melted chocolate, then beat in egg yolks, one at a time.
4. 4 Beat egg whites in a glass bowl until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons white sugar, and continue to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
5. 5 Fold egg whites into chocolate mixture, then fold in cake flour until incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out dry, about 45 minutes.
7. 7 Cool pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then run a small knife around the edge and remove the sides of the pan. Allow cake to cool completely on the pan base, 15 to 20 more minutes.
8. 8 While the cake is cooling, make the filling: Bring 1/4 cup water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook and stir until sugar has dissolved and syrup is clear, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons rum.
9. 9 Purée apricot preserves with 1 tablespoon of water in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon rum.
10. 10 Remove the pan base and parchment paper from cooled cake. Carefully slice cake in half horizontally into two layers. Place one layer onto a wire rack; brush 1/3 of the syrup over top, spread with 1/3 of the apricot purée, then top with remaining cake layer. Brush the cake top and sides with remaining syrup, then spread remaining purée over the top and sides. Refrigerate cake on the wire rack until icing is ready.
11. 11 Make the icing: Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
12. 12 While the chocolate is melting, bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan. Stir cream into melted chocolate until combined. Let cool slightly, stirring often, until icing reaches a spreadable consistency, 5 to 10 minutes.
13. 13 Remove the cake from the refrigerator; set the wire rack over waxed paper to catch any drips. Pour icing over cake and spread over the top and sides, allow excess icing to drip through the rack. Let sit until icing is at room temperature.
14. 14 Carefully transfer cake to a serving platter. Serve at room temperature.

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray baking sheets with cooking spray, or line with parchment paper.
2. 2 Place the flour, butter, cream cheese, and salt in a bowl. Cut it together with 2 knives or a pastry cutter until the butter and cream cheese is the size of small peas. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
3. 3 Cut the dough in half and place half in the refrigerator to stay cold. Roll the other half between 2 pieces of wax paper or parchment into a sheet about 1/8 inch thick. Lift off the top sheet, and use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut 18 cookies. Before lifting the cutouts from the wax paper, put the dough onto a flat baking sheet and into the freezer for a few minutes to firm up the cookies. Set the 18 cookies aside. Repeat with the other half of the dough, also making 18 heart-shaped cookies.
4. 4 Place 18 cookies onto the prepared baking sheets so they don't touch. Carefully brush a little beaten egg around the top of each cookie, and spoon about 1 teaspoon of preserves into the center of the cookie. Top each with another unfilled cookie, press together around the edges, and crimp the edges with a fork to seal in the filling and make a pretty edge. Brush the tops of the filled cookies with beaten egg, and sprinkle with sugar.
5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are a light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely before placing in containers.
