Cream Cheese Spirals Cookies Recipe
Looks like a crescent roll, but IT'S A COOKIE.
Ingredients
- 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
Directions
- 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.
- Make the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the chopped walnuts, brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
