I often make rugelach with my kids on the afternoon of a fast. I clipped this recipe from a Hebrew magazine called Eim Haderech. The dough is so easy to work with, and the kids roll it out and fill it themselves.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Combine all the ingredients and knead the dough until soft. Let it sit for 10 minutes before dividing into balls and rolling out. (Divide the balls among your children — you can make as many as needed.)
Roll each ball into a circular shape, like a pizza pie, and sprinkle the dough with chocolate milk powder (shoko powder, in Israel), vanilla pudding powder, or cinnamon-sugar. Cut into eighths and roll up each one from the wider end. Bake for 15–20 minutes.
