"This cookie recipe has been a family and personal favorite and is never left out of Christmas baking. It has an addicting flaky outside and creamy chocolate/nutty center. The dough can be a pain, but it is well worth it! Enjoy. :)"

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

Cookies:
1 cup butter, softened
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
Powdered sugar (for sprinkling)
Filling:
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add the flour. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth, about 3 minutes. Divide dough into four equal portions; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
  • In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, melt chocolate chips in the sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in walnuts. Cool to room temperature.
  • Lightly dust a flat surface with flour, and roll out one portion of dough into an 11 x 6 inch rectangle. Beware of the dough sticking, and add flour when needed. Spread 3/4 cup chocolate filling down the center of the rectangle. Fold long sides to the center; press to seal all edges. Then carefully transfer to baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat with remaining 3 portions of dough. You will need 2 baking sheets.
  • Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Sift confectioners' sugar over them. Cut each portion into 12 slices. Makes about 4 dozen.
