Suggested Recipes
-
1 pkg (8 oz/250 g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (250 m L) butter, softened
2 tbsp (25 mL) granulated sugar
2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour
Filling:
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) chopped walnut halves
4 oz (125 g) semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup (50 mL) each granulated sugar and packed brown sugar
3/4 tsp (4 mL) cinnamon
3/4 cup (175 mL) orange marmalade
Topping:
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp (25 mL) coarse or granulated sugar
Preparation:
Filing: In bowl, stir together walnuts, chocolate, granulated and brown sugars and cinnamon.
On lightly floured surface, roll 1 of the dough quarters into 12- x 8-inch (30 x 20 cm) rectangle. Spread 3 tbsp (50 mL) of the marmalade evenly over top; sprinkle with one-quarter of the chocolate mixture. Starting at long side, roll into tight log. Cut into twelve 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick slices. Arrange upright, 3/4 inch (5 mm) apart, on baking sheet; refrigerate for 30 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough.
Topping: Brush egg over top edge of upright cookies; sprinkle with sugar. Bake in top and bottom thirds of 350°F (180°C) oven, rotating and switching pans halfway through, until golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool on pans on racks for 5 minutes. Transfer to racks; let cool completely. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month.)
