Making Rugelach
- In a food processor, combine all-purpose flour and powdered sugar. Add half of the cold butter and pulse until it resembles pea-sized crumbs. Next, add the remaining butter and cold cream cheese, pulsing until the mixture forms a grainy dough.
- Shape the dough into a rectangle, then divide it into two equal pieces. Wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6-8 hours or overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll one dough piece into a 12-inch circle, spreading a generous layer of raspberry preserve over the top. Sprinkle chopped sliced almonds evenly.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into 12-16 wedges. Starting from the wide end, carefully roll each wedge towards the tip.
- Beat an egg yolk and gently brush it over the tops of each rolled pastry. Sprinkle turbinado sugar on top. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.
