HONEY WALNUT CREAM CHEESE



Honey Walnut Cream Cheese image

We came up with this recipe after trying Trader Joe's® honey walnut cream cheese; this was much better since we used the orange blossom honey my mom buys from local farmers' market. She suggest toasting the walnuts. To make a sweeter version, add a tablespoon of granulated sugar while pulsing in the processor. Spread a layer on a slice of your favorite bread and enjoy! Yum!

CREAM-CHEESE WALNUT COOKIES

Package some of these buttery, nut-edged cookies in a pretty jar as a gift.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
6 ounces cream cheese (not whipped), room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups walnut halves (1 1/2 cups toasted and coarsely chopped and 1 cup finely chopped)

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour and salt in a large bowl; set aside. Put butter and cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in sugar and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture, and mix until just combined (do not overmix). Mix in toasted walnuts.
  • Transfer dough to a work surface. Divide in half; shape each half into an 8 1/2-inch long log about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap each log in parchment paper; freeze until firm, about 30 minutes or up to 2 weeks.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Unwrap 1 log, and roll in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, coating completely. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Space 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake cookies, rotating halfway through, until golden around edges, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks. Repeat with remaining log and remaining 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.

Tips:

  • Soften cream cheese properly: Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before creaming it with butter. This will help ensure a smooth and creamy mixture.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a cookie scoop for consistent size: A cookie scoop will help you create evenly sized cookies that will bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: The cookies are done baking when the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack: Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese walnut drop cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their rich and creamy flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give cream cheese walnut drop cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
