Another East European recipe from the internet that was reworked slightly, to be included when I participate in the 4th Zaar World Tour! Preparation time does not include time for dough to chill!

1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Directions:
1. Mix cream cheese, flour & butter, then divide into 4 balls & wrap inaluminum foil ~ Refrigerate at least 6 hours.
2. When ready to work the dough, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (or 190 degrees C) & lightly grease & flour a cookie sheet (or enough to bake 24 rugelach).
3. Roll out each ball to 1/4 (or 6mm) thickness & about 10 (25 cm) in diameter or more.
4. Cut each circle into 10-12 wedges, then spread wedges thinly with jam.

7. Roll each wedge gently, starting at the wide part & ending at the point.
