After making and chilling the dough for this White Chocolate Peppermint Rugelach recipe, you roll a portion of it into a circle. Then sprinkle the crushed candy canes and white chocolate over the top of the dough. Using a pizza cutter or a paring knife, cut the circle into 16 pieces like you’re cutting a pizza. Then all you do is roll up each little triangle into these fancy rolls.

Peppermint White Chocolate Rugelach

Course: Dessert
Servings: 32
Calories: 83kcal

Ingredients

Dough

  • 8 tbs unsalted butter softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 tbs sugar
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Pepermint Filling

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chopped
  • 4 candy canes large, crushed
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tbs unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • For the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, cream cheese, sugar, extracts, and salt together until light and fluffy, about 3 to 6 minutes on medium speed.
  • Reduce the speed of the mixer on low and slowly add the flour. Mix until just combined.
  • Divide the dough into two equal pieces.
  • Wrap each piece in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm (about an hour).
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the filling: Mix the white chocolate and crushed candy canes in a small bowl.
  • To assemble the cookies: Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll each piece of dough on a lightly floured surface into an 11-inch circle about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Sprinkle half of the filling over the dough.
  • Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut each dough into 16 wedges (like you would cut a pizza).
  • Starting at the wide end, roll up each wedge into a cookie.
  • Lay the cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Brush the cookies with the melted butter, and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake the cookies until they are a pale gold, about 20 minutes.
  • Immediately transfer the hot cookies to a cooling rack, and allow them to cool completely.
  • Repeat the same process with the second half of the dough.
  • Yields 32 cookies
