Simply the best. I've tried different jams but apricot is best b/c it is stickier and acts as a better "glue;" apricot also has a tart backnote of flavor that contrasts well to the sugary filling. That's my opinion. I sometimes roll the dough circles flat between 2 sheets of waxed paper while dough is still soft; then I chill it until I'm ready to finish the job. The dough is then easier to handle that way too and literally ready to roll; just layer the chilled dough round with the filling, cut into 12 triangles with a pizza cutter, roll up, and bake right away. All doughs bake best when chilled. YUM. Very professional looking cookie.

Excellent dessert. As a somewhat inexperienced baker of sweets, I would make a few changes next go-round. First make sure you're good with a rolling pin to get the dough in a circle. This results in evenly sized rugulach. Second, I would use a coarser sugar as sprinkles, such as Turbinado as some have suggested. Finally, I used parchment on top of dark, Teflon coated pans. My baking time was closer to 30 minutes and I think baking sheets would result in more even cooking (to avoid burning bottoms of cookies.

Tried half the batch with raspberry preserves. I think the apricot turned out best, but all were excellent.

Love this recipe! It makes a bunch of cookies, and has been a staple for our Christmas cookie baking party for 3 or 4 years. If you don't have enough time to put the pastry together, or you need to watch out for dairy overload, use a ready made pie crust.

These were so good and so easy. I rolled the dough into a rectangle and spread the filling close to the edges then rolled it jelly roll style and baked it. Once they were cool I sliced them. I found these easier than the crescent shapes.

Another wonderful recipe from Ina! This is one of the best ones yet - I had to make a second batch the next day because my husband ate all of them within a day that's how good they are. Very very important not to skip the step of chilling them after rolling but before baking. Lots of the complaints on here from people of leakage etc were from people who I am sure did not do this. They are so easy to make - no different than any cut out type cookie but so so much better!!! Thank Ina you are awesome!!!

These are absolutely divine--I ate most of them before my girlfriends arrived for tea! Thank heavens I had also made Ina's Jam Thumbprints. (I've been a fan of Barefoot Contessa for years. Ina's recipes NEVER let me down. I love you, Ina!! Always have, always will !

So great my family didn't even wait for them to cool before they were all gone! I did change the recipe a little by using fig preserves and chopped dates and pecans.

OMG.....OMG.....OMG, I instantly rolled over and lit up a cigarette after my first bite! Wow...are these heavenly. The only changes I made....were I used the blueberry craisins which are insanely good with the apricot jam.....and pecans, only because they're my nut of choice! My husband wouldn't even allow me share one with friends...he wanted them all....tooooo funnnnny! I'd give this recipe 6 stars if they'd allow.......You hit this one out of the park Ina!
