1 cup(s) butter, softened
1 package(s) 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cup(s) all purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
1/4 cup(s) packed brown sugar
2 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
1/2 cup(s) diced peeled pears
1/2 cup(s) finely chopped walnuts
3/4 cup(s) powdered sugar
2 tablespoon(s) milk

Steps:

In a large bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
Divide the dough into fourths. On a floured surface; roll out each portion into a 12-in. circle. Cut into 12 wedges. Place about 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon-sugar at the wide end of each wedge. Top with 1/2 teaspoon each pears and walnuts. Roll up, beginning at wide end. Place pointed side down 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets; curve ends to form a crescent.
Bake at 375° for 16-19 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately remove to wire racks. Combine confectioners' sugar and milk; drizzle over cooled cookies.
