Step 1
In a food processor, pulse 2 cups flour, 1 cup cold butter (cut into pieces), and 8 oz cold cream cheese until dough just comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap, and chill 1 hour.
Step 2
On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. Spread 0.5 cup jam evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
Step 3
Cut the circle into 12 wedges like a pizza. Roll each wedge from the wide end to the point, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, point-side down.
Step 4
Chill the rugelach for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 5
Bake until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
Step 6
Dust with 0.25 cup powdered sugar while still warm. Serve at room temperature.
