Instructions

1

Cream together cream cheese, cannabutter, and regular butter.
2

Work in flour and salt until you have a smooth dough. Don't overwork.
3

Divide into 4 pieces. Wrap in plastic. Chill for 2 hours.
4

Preheat oven to 356°F (180°C).
5

Filling: Mix walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon.
6

Roll each dough piece into a circle (10 inches/25cm). Spread with jam.
7

Sprinkle filling and raisins on top. Cut into 8 wedges.
8

Roll each wedge from outside to inside — croissant shape.
9

Brush with egg. Bake 22–25 minutes until golden brown.
10

Dust with powdered sugar.

Pro Tips

Cannabutter distributed evenly in dough — each rugelach is equally dosed.
Keep dough cold — warm cream cheese dough tears when rolling.
Don't overfill — rugelach will unroll during baking if too full.
