Marmelade Rugelach
These take a little bit of preparation time but are not at all hard to make. Cottage cheese makes these delightful little pastries light and tasty.

- Combine cottage cheese and 250g butter in a bowl. Mix thoroughly, then gradually stir in the flour. Dough will be sticky. Divide dough into thirds and wrap with waxed paper. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat an oven to 200C. Lightly grease a baking tray.
- Combine the remaining 65g butter with the brown sugar, cinnamon, pecans and raisins. Set aside. Roll one ball of dough at a time into a 20cm circle on a floured surface, while keeping the remaining dough chilled. Spread 1 tablespoon of the orange marmalade over the circle. Gently press 1/3 of the nut mixture into the dough. Cut the circle into 16 equal wedges. Roll each wedge tightly, starting with the wide end. Place the rugelach point-side down on the prepared baking tray. Repeat with the remaining dough. Beat the egg white with the water in a small bowl, then brush the mixture onto each rugelach.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.

I made these for a party and there was an empty plate by the end. Everyone loved these and I wish I had doubled the recipe. Unbelievable easy to make and delicous and they freeze very well. The only change I would make would be to add a little more filling to each rugelach. This recipe is definitely a keeper.....and I passed it along to all those who were at the party. - 17 Jul 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I was afraid these were going to be too sweet, but they were perfect!! I make the recipe exactly as written but without the orange marmalade. These are more like a pastry than a cookie. My daughter who normally doesn't like nuts or raisins loved them!! She suggested I try making them using chocolate chips...This might work with chocolate chips, coconut and walnuts...hummm??? Thank you for a great recipe, Sandy!! - 09 Jun 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
