Claire Saffitz Makes Holiday Rugelach Cookies | Dessert Person Join Claire Saffitz as she puts a creative spin on traditional rugelach cookies with a recipe inspired by her time in France. Drawing inspiration from pruneaux d’Agen fourrés, a delicacy of stuffed prunes flavored with almond and port, Claire crafts rugelach with a rich prune and port filling wrapped in a tender almond pastry. While not your typical rugelach, these cookies blend Jewish baking traditions with French-inspired flavors, resulting in a festive treat that tasters have called the best rugelach they’ve ever had.
