This semi-homemade rugelach recipe simplifies the cookie prep by using store bought uncooked pie crust. Each crust is spread with the classic rugelach filling of raspberry preserves, chocolate, and cinnamon-sugar, then rolled into a tight cylinder, wrapped, and frozen. The freezing process is paramount for rugelach cookies, making them firm enough to slice into individual cookies. We have also written this recipe so that you can make a half or whole batch, depending on your needs. If you’re making a half batch of cookies, keep the other roll frozen until ready to bake a new fresh batch.
Raspberry Chocolate Rugelach

Ingredients
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 packages store bought uncooked pie crusts
- 2/3 cup raspberry jam, divided
- 1/2 cup finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- 1 large egg
Directions

1) Place ⅔ cup of sugar and 1 ½ tbsp cinnamon in a medium bowl and whisk to combine, set aside.

2) Working with 1 pie crust at a time, unroll, and place on a large sheet of parchment paper. Spread ¼ cup of raspberry preserves over the surface of the pie crust, leaving a small ¼-inch border around the edges. Evenly sprinkle 4 tbsp cinnamon-sugar and ½ cup chopped chocolate chips over the crust. Roll crust into a tight cylinder. Repeat with the remaining pie crust.


3) Once filled and rolled, wrap the cylinders in either parchment or plastic wrap, and place in the freezer. Freeze rugelach for a minimum of 30 minutes or until the cylinders have hardened slightly.
4) Line two Suvie pans with parchment paper and lightly grease with cooking spray. Remove cylinders from freezer and trim 1 ½ inches off each end. With a serrated knife, cut each roll of rugelach into 7 portions and place about 1 inch apart in the prepared pans.

5) In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 2 tsp water until smooth. Brush the tops of each cookie with the egg wash. Sprinkle each cookie with about ½ tsp of cinnamon-sugar. Place pans in Suvie. Input settings and cook now. → Hold the Tap to Scan tag to the logo on the appliance.
