Rugelach

 DOUGH

3 cups flour
1/2 t salt
1/4 c sugar
1 1/4 c unsalted butter (2 1/2 sticks) - I used Mother's margarine.  Cut into chunks.
3 large egg yolks
1 cup sour cream - I used tofutti

Filling
mini chocolate chips
cinnamon and sugar

Garnish - one egg beaten

In a food processor, place the flour, salt and sugar.  Process.  Add chunks of butter and process until mixture is crumbly.  Add egg yolks and sour cream.  Pulse until combined.

Smooth dough, and form into three balls.  Chill in fridge for at least an hour.

Preheat oven to 350.  Line baking sheet with foil and then spray with Pam.  Roll one ball of dough into a large circle.  Spread with cinnamon and sugar.  Spread with mini chocolate chips.  Use a pizza cutter and cut into wedges (12-14 of them).  Then roll the wedge from larger end to smaller end.  Place on baking sheet.  Repeat. with all balls.  Brush each piece with some egg wash.

Bake until golden (25 to 35 minutes) depending on your oven and the dough.  Cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes.  Then put pieces on baking sheet to cool completely.

OTHER FILLINGS - you can use raspberry jam, apricot jam, chopped nuts or raisins.  I happen to like the mini chocolate chips.
