This Middle-Eastern dessert features Filling:, Ground pecans, Currants, Sugar, Cinnamon. It delivers rich, cheesy flavor, smooth, comforting richness. A wonderful way to end any meal, especially on special occasions. Simple to make with ingredients you likely already have on hand, this is a recipe you will come back to again and again.Ingredients
Directions
-
For filling: combine pecans, currants, sugar and cinnamon in mixing bowl.
-
For dough: combine cream cheese, flour, butter and sugar in processor or mixer and blend well.
-
Divide dough into 4 pieces.
-
Dust each with flour, shaking off excess.
-
Roll each piece between sheets of waxed paper into 10" circle.
-
Refrigerate 1 hour.
-
Preheat oven to 375.
-
Grease baking sheets.
-
Spread each circle of dough with apricot jam.
-
Divide filling among circles, spreading evenly.
-
Cut each into 12 wedges.
-
Roll up each wedge from bottom to point.
-
Arrange on prepared sheets, point side down.
-
Bake until golden, about 16-17 minutes.
-
Transfer to wire rack and let cool.
-
Store cookies in airtight container.
-
Tips: Be sure to work on just one circle at a time and keep others refrigerated.
-
Don't overdo the jam and cinnamon/pecan filling because they tend to overflow and will burn quickly on your baking sheets.
-
Remove at once from the baking sheet to cool on racks when they turn golden brown on top.
-
After rolling out between waxed paper, one hour of cooling is perfect to
-
cut out, but they may be made ahead and refrigerated longer.
-
Just leave them out a bit before cutting out so dough won't be so stiff to handle properly and
-
roll well.
-
P.S.
-
You know success when others ask for the recipe
