Forevermama’s Crescent Rugelach Cookies,This is hands down one of my most popular and favorite cookies that I make for Christmas. They’re so good and unlike many Rugelach cookies that I’ve had. I’ve been making these forever. I got it from a Good Housekeeping magazine from either late 70’s or 80’s. It is a recipe that was submitted by Bea Arthur from the Golden Girls and Maude, remember her? They’re addictive, so watch it!,This is hands down one of my most popular and favorite cookies that I make for Christmas. They’re so good and unlike many Rugelach cookies that I’ve had.
