¼ cup granulated sugar

2 cups walnuts. Cut into fourths.

Powdered sugar for dusting board when rolling out dough

-----

Cream together butter, sugar and cream cheese.  Add flour and mix into a soft dough. Divide dough into three balls and flatten in disks.  Refrigerate dough for one to two hours.  This is a soft dough.

Dust rolling surface with powdered sugar.  Dust dough with powdered sugar as needed to prevent sticking.  Roll dough into a 1/8th thick rectangle.  Cut into 1 ½ triangles.  Place one nut at the wide part of the triangle and roll – it will look like a small croissant with a nut.  Do the same for all three dough balls.

Place on a light colored or parchment covered cookie sheet. 

Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.  Cookies should be a little brown on the edges. 

Transfer to wire rack.

Makes about 4 doz.

 

Note:  Tightly covered, layered between wax paper, these freeze very well for up to 2 months.
