Equipment
Electric mixer, plastic wrap, rolling pin, baking sheet, oven
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 6 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup orange marmalade
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons ground walnuts
Instructions
Beat the butter with the cream cheese with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the flour and using hands make a thick dough. Make three balls with the dough, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Mix the brown sugar with the cinnamon, raisins, walnuts and the chocolate chips.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator let stand in room temperature for a while and make 3-mm thick circles with each piece on a floured surface.
Divide each circle into quarters and then eighths and sixteenths, until we have 16 equal triangles. Coat with marmalade and sprinkle with the sugar mixture. Roll each triangle up, starting from the wide side, to make crescents.
Bake at 360°F for 25-30 minutes.
Dust, if desired with icing sugar, when they are still hot.
