Jammy Rugulah is a delightful pastry that originates from the Jewish cuisine. It is also known as rugelach, which means ‘little twists’ in Yiddish. The pastry is typically filled with various jams, nuts, cinnamon, or chocolate, and rolled into a crescent shape. The apricot jam used in this recipe gives the pastry a sweet and tangy flavor, while the almonds add extra crunch and texture. These cookies are perfect for a sweet treat after dinner or as an addition to your morning cup of tea or coffee.
