Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Jane Plantz (SNET) graciously shared Merle’s recipe with me. The only thing I do off script is to lightly sprinkle the tops of the unbaked cookies with a cinnamon/sugar mixture.

Jane’s note:
My secret for making Merle Loza’s heavenly rugelach come out in uniform sizes: Lightly flour a baseball-sized ball of dough, then roll it out between two sheets of waxed paper. Using a small plate or saucer as a template (I used an 8 1/2” luncheon plate—use a saucer if you want mini ones), use a pizza cutter to cut out a nice neat circle. Sprinkle on the topping, then use the pizza cutter to cut it into 8 wedges, then roll them up wide end first. I bake mine on an insulated cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
