Ingredients
Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 3/4 all-purpose flour
Filling:
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup dried cranberries and raisins mixed
- 2/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts or almonds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Instructions
For dough:
- Beat butter and cream cheese in large bowl until light. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Next, mix in the flour until a soft, pliable dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk and wrap in clingfilm. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
For the cookies:
- Combine ¾ cup sugar, cranberries walnuts, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg and cocoa powder in a food processor and pulse it until everything is mixed together. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll out each piece into an 1/8-inch thick round. Spread 3 tablespoons filling over round, leaving ½-inch border. Using a pizza wheel or sharp knife, cut the dough like you would a pizza- into 8 equal pieces. Starting at the wide end of each triangle, gently roll into a crescent. Repeat with remaining dough pieces and filling.
- Place the cookies, tip pointing down and bake until golden, about 20 minutes.
- Remove and let cool on a wire rack. Once the cookies have cooled, dust with confectioner's sugar and serve.
- Cookies will keep for a week in an airtight container.
