Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 large egg whisked with 1 tablespoon of water
  • 1/4 cup preserves (apricot, strawberry, raspberry)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup chopped dried fruits (cranberries, raisins)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped dried fruit, optional

Instruction

  • Place the first four ingredients in a food processor or standing mixer and mix until combined.
  • Slowly add the flour, little by little until just combined.
  • Divide the dough into 2 balls, wrap each with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a 9 inch round and using a pizza cutter or knife, cut into 12 equal wedges (like a pizza pie).
  • Before separating the wedges evenly spread the round with 2 tbsp preserves.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 cup of filling of your choice and press them down gently to adhere to the dough.
  • Starting with the wide end of each wedge, roll up into 24 cookies.
  • Place on a baking sheet with the tip pointing down and brush with egg wash.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
