This raspberry rugelach is a yummy and extra fruity version of this traditional cookie.

In a bowl, use an electric mixer on low speed to combine and smooth out the butter and cream cheese.

Add vanilla extract, salt, and 1/4 cup sugar; beat until combined.

Using a spoon, manually incorporate the remaining flour.

Create four equal pieces of dough.

Refrigerate each piece for at least 2 hours or overnight until it becomes firm.

Wrap each piece in plastic wrap.

In a medium bowl, combine the walnuts, apricots, brown sugar, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of white sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Stir until well combined.

Set aside the filling.

Set the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees C).

Grease and line two large baking sheets with foil.
