This flaky goat cheese and butter pastry, filled with orange-cinnamon sugar, chocolate, and toasted hazelnuts, belongs in your rugelach (or baking) repertoire. Rolling the pastry between sheets of wax paper (instead of on a floured surface) helps the filling adhere to the pastry—at least enough so that you can shape the cookies without excessive filling fallout. It also minimizes clean-up. Feel free to swap walnuts or almonds for hazelnuts, trade ground cardamom for cinnamon, or chopped dried fruit for chocolate chips. All's fair in love and rugelach...
