I am glad that you posted this recipe! Rugelach is such a wonderful treat! There is nothing wrong with pinwheel cookies, but, for those interested in authenticity: I do agree with Jeanette Friedman that the pinwheel shape is not the authentic Jewish shape and that Rugelach should be dusted in confectioner's sugar. Rugelach is literally twisted. Unlike Jeanette, in my Jewish home rugelach would never have a drizzle of icing! No icing of any kind.
