Carrie Deegan from Glen Cove, NY has been baking cookies for years to rave reviews. About 4 years ago, she decided to sell some of her favorites, just during the holidays. This tender cream-cheese cookie coated with walnut-and-cinnamon sugar is one of her
Ingredients
- 1 package cream cheese
- 1 c. margarine or butter
- 2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 3/4 c. walnuts
- 1 c. sugar
- 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- In large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat cream cheese and margarine or butter until blended, constantly scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Increase speed to high; beat until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. With mixer at low speed, gradually add 1 cup flour and beat until blended. With spoon, stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups flour until smooth.
- On lightly floured sheet of plastic wrap, pat dough into a 9" by 9" square. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours or until dough is firm enough to roll.
- Meanwhile, in food processor with knife blade attached, finely grind walnuts with 1/4 cup sugar. In small bowl, stir cinnamon and remaining 3/4 cup sugar into walnut mixture until well blended; set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease large cookie sheet. On lightly floured sheet of waxed paper, with floured rolling pin, roll dough square into 11" by 10 1/2" rectangle. With pastry brush, brush some beaten egg over top of dough rectangle; sprinkle with half of walnut mixture. Gently press walnut mixture into dough. Invert dough rectangle onto another sheet of lightly floured waxed paper, nut side down. Brush with beaten egg; sprinkle with remaining walnut mixture, and gently press nut mixture into dough.
- Cut dough lengthwise into three 3 1/2-inch-wide bars, then cut each bar crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips to make sixty-six 3 1/2" by 1/2" strips in all. Twist each strip twice then place, about 1 inch apart, on cookie sheet.
- Bake twists 15 to 17 minutes until lightly browned. With pancake turner, gently loosen twists from cookie sheet and remove to wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining strips.
