Tried these cookies a few years ago for Christmas, and have been making them ever since. Looks like you put a lot of work into them, but they are really not very difficult. These are always the first to go on our cookie tray, and I often end up making extra batches. (I made 4 batches this year!) Prep. time includes refrigeration time.

Steps:
- Beat together cream cheese, butter, sugar, maple syrup, salt and egg yolk in large bowl until smooth.
- Beat in flour just until blended.
- Shape into ball and refrigerate about 2 hours.
- Meanwhile prepare filling: Stir together walnuts, 1/3 c sugar, maple syrup, and cinnamon in medium bowl.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Grease 2 large baking sheets.
- Divide chilled dough in half, and roll one half out on lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness.
- Trim dough to form a 10-inch circle.
- Spread half of walnut mixture evenly over dough.
- Cut circle into 16 wedges, like you would cut a pizza (A pizza-cutter works great).
- Starting with wide end, roll up each wedge jelly-roll fashion (Will look like a little crescent roll).
- Place on baking sheet, point side down.
- Repeat with remaining half of dough.
- Lightly beat egg white with water, and brush over cookies.
- Sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned.
