Shopping List:
225 gr. butter, softened
225 gr cream cheese ( I use mascarpone, but any will do)
Plain flour. I start with 350 to 400 gr. When handling you'll feel if it needs more.
1/2 teaspoon salt
Filling:
200 gr sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon (ground)
125 gr melted butter
100 gr finely chopped Walnuts or Pecans
Chocolate Chips
You can also use cranberries and for extra 1 teaspoon of All Spice.
* Beat the butter and the cream cheese together until smooth. Combine the flour and the salt.
Then add this gradually to the butter mixture. Mix well, feel if it needs more flour. Then divide the dough into 4 portions in plastic wrap and put in the fridge. Leave well alone for an hour or so, longer would be perfect. The dough is buttery and should not feel too dry.
* Roll out each portion between two sheets of waxed paper. I use a bit of extra flour on the bottom one. 30 cm in the round would be perfect. Remove the top sheet of paper. Combine the sugar and the cinnamon ( or other spices). Sprinkle each circle with 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar and 2 tablespoons of Walnuts or Pecans. Cut each into 6 wedges.
* Roll up the wedges from the wide bottom end; place the little point side down. Put them on your baking trays with baking paper. Curve the little ends to form a crescent shape, like a croissant.
* Bake them in your preheated oven 180C. for 24-26 minutes or until golden brown.
Brush the warm cookies with the melted butter and spoon some cinnamon sugar over them.
They should be crisp and smelling deliciously.
"Enjoy"
