Number Of Ingredients 10

8 oz butter, room temperature
8 oz cream cheese
2 tsp caster sugar
8 oz all purpose flour
1 large egg white beaten with 1 t. water, for glazing
caster sugar, for sprinkling
FOR THE FILLING:
4 oz finely chopped walnuts
4 oz light brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. With an electric mixer, cream the butter, cream cheese and 2 tsp sugar until soft. Sift the flour over the cream cheese mixture and mix until combined. Gather into a ball and divide in half. Flatten each half, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • 2. Make the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the chopped walnuts, brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
  • 3. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
  • 4. Working with one half of the dough at a time, roll it out thinly into a circle about 11 inches in diameter. Trim the edges with a knife, using a dinner plate as a guide. Brush the surface with the egg white glaze and then sprinkle evenly with half of the filling.
  • 5. Cut the circle into quarters, and each quarter into 4 sections, to form 16 triangles. Starting from the base of the triangles, roll up to form spirals.
  • 6. Place the spirals on the cookie sheets and brush with the remaining glaze. Sprinkle with caster sugar. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until golden. Cool on a wire rack.

I'm not a big fan of cream cheese, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The filling is not too sweet and the cookie itself is soft and chewy.
