Last year I tried this “Ina” rugelach recipe. It may be my oven, but as I recall they did not bake evenly and I had to eat the rejects. Tee hee. It is very labor intensive, but got good reviews from the crowd, better than the thumbprint cookies I took, as well.

I’m doing two types of ‘thumbprints’ this year: Jam & Chocolate. :)
