Yield 64 Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 17

Dough:
8 Oz. Cream cheese
1 Cup Butter
3 Egg Yolks
2 Cups Flour
1 Cup (approx.) Confectioner's Sugar
Traditional Fillings:
Finely Chopped Walnuts or
Shredded Coconut or
Chopped Dates
Alternative Fillings (dry ones work best):
Chocolate Chips
Marzipan
Dried Cherries
Dried Apricot
Dried Cranberries & Orange Zest
Raisins

Steps:

  • Cream together cream cheese and butter. Add egg and mix thoroughly. Mix in flour. This is a pretty thick dough. Cut into 8 balls of equal size. Cover and chill until firm - 4 hours or overnight. (Note: this dough must be worked quickly and while cold. A chilled counter surface and/or rolling pin help considerably. If dough becomes to warm to work with, simply cover & re-chill.) Roll out each ball very thin (about 1/8 an inch) in a liberal amount of confectioner's sugar. Cut as you would a pizza into 8 equal-sized wedges. Place a large pinch of filling of your choice on the wide end of each wedge. Roll up, folding in the sides until the filling is sealed in completely. Be sure to place each cookie with the point side down, and press gently onto ungreased cookie sheet, otherwise they will unfurl while baking. Bake at 350º until golden brown (watch closely), about 9 minutes.
