When I was growing up with my grandparents, there was always dessert on the counter.  Always! 

My grandmother, who has always been a prolific baker, is Czech, which means she can do a lot more than Strufoli, Pizzele, and Tiramisu.  From Baklava to Krusciki, and Meringues, to this one, Rugelach, Grandma has baked it all.
