Rugelach are a classic Jewish cookie that are traditionally filled with cinnamon sugar and raisins. In this version, I decided to mix things up and opt for a matcha powder dough with a heavenly black sesame filling, because let's face it–these two flavors were made for each other! The dough is adapted from Ina Garten's recipe, which my grandmother swears by. It contains cream cheese to give a slight tang and an amazing, tender texture. The filling is a spin on poppyseed filling, another more traditional choice for rugelach.
