My mother (Italian, may she rest in peace) used to make a favorite Christmas cookie. I have made them myself a number of times, but have misplaced the recipe! Hopefully, someone will recognize them:

Where was from your mother? :-)
The rugelach dough sounds close to what I remember. I'll definitely give that a try. The assembly was slightly different, as rugelach are more of a jelly-roll structure, with filling evenly spread over the dough, as in the recipe Vox forwarded. Mom's had a little "log" of filling rolled up in an open-ended wrapper, but that's a minor change. I remember liking to make them smaller, rather than larger, so the filling baked up well - and there were more of them!
Thanks!
Dave
