Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb butter
  • 1/2 lb cream cheese
  • 2 1/2 cups cake flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • milk , or (for moistening)
  • egg white, beaten (for moistening )
  • confectioners' sugar (for rolling and for dusting)

Directions:

  1. Cream together thoroughly the butter and cream cheese.
  2. Blend in the flour.
  3. If mixture is sticky add a little more flour until the dough is easy to handle.
  4. Divide dough into four equal balls; flatten, then wrap each in waxed paper and chill thoroughly.
  5. To make filling, mix together walnuts and sugar, adding enough milk or beaten egg white to make a paste-like mixture.
  6. One at a time, roll out each chilled piece of dough (use confectioner's sugar for rolling as you would use flour in making pastry), until a little thinner than pie dough.
  7. Cut into 2-inch squares.
  8. Put 1/2 teaspoon filling in the middle of each square.
  9. Roll up. Seal ends. (Mrs. Mikosz does not say if you are to roll them end-to-end like a log or corner-to-corner. I remember seeing many corner-to-corner cookies so will try both and see how they turn out - please let me know what you do too).
  10. With a fork, dipped in confectioner's sugar, shape into cresents.
  11. Bake in a preheated 375F oven, on ungreased cookie sheets, for 20 minutes, or until golden. (dharmabean shared that 15 minutes was enough in her oven - see her review).
  12. Cool on rack.
  13. Sift confectioner's sugar over the tops.
