    These cookies are known by different names in different countries: Kipfel from Germany, Kifli from Yugolsavia and cream cheese cookies from the United States. Basically Rugelach is made in one of two ways. The dough is either made from sour cream and has yeast added for leaving or it is made with cream cheese and eggs are the primary leavening ingredient. Presumably, the first recipes for Rugelach-type pastries were introduced to America by immigrants from Hungary, Russia, Poland, Yugoslavia and other neighboring countries.
    . The cream-cheese dough may have been developed by the Philadelphia Cream Cheese Company because the dough is often called Philadelphia cream-cheese dough. "One of the the early cream-cheese doughs appeared in The Perfect Hostess, written in 1950 by Mildred Knopf. Mrs. Knopf, the sister-in-law of Alfred Knopf the publisher, mentioned that the recipe came from Nela Rubenstein, the wife of the famous pianist Arthur Rubenstein. It was Mrs. Knopf's friend Maida Heatter who put rugelah on the culinary map with Mrs. Heatter's grandmother's recipe. It is the most sought after of all Mrs. Heatter's recipes and is the Rugelach most often found in upscale bakeries nationwide."

    Fascinating. My one Jewish Mother observation is that it's not quite Rugelach, though, as they have a cream cheese pastry. This is an interesting and quirky recipe and quite original.
