Ingredients You’ll Need
Gather these ingredients to whip up a batch of Rogaliki Cookies:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 1 cup orange marmalade
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that we’ve got our ingredients lined up, let’s start creating some magic in the kitchen!
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing just until a dough forms. Don’t overmix!
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. This helps it firm up for rolling.
- Once chilled, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large circle. Spread a generous amount of orange marmalade over the dough.
- Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly on top of the marmalade, and then cut the dough into 8-12 wedges, like slicing a pizza.
- Starting from the wide edge of each wedge, roll it up towards the point. Place the rolled cookies point-side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.
- Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes, then dust with powdered sugar.
And there you have it! A batch of scrumptious Rogaliki Cookies ready for you to enjoy. Perfect for sharing with family and friends or just indulging in by yourself. Happy baking!
