Time P1DT1h25m

Yield 32 servings, 2 cookies each

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
2-1/4 cups flour
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. sugar, divided
1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon, divided
1/4 cup raspberry preserves

Steps:

  • Beat cream cheese and butter in large bowl with mixer until blended. Gradually add flour, mixing well after each addition. (Dough will be very soft and sticky.) Divide dough into 4 portions; place each portion on sheet of plastic wrap. Use floured hands to pat each portion into 1-inch-thick round. Wrap individually in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Heat oven to 325°F. Cover baking sheets with foil or parchment. Combine nuts, 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tsp. cinnamon. Mix remaining sugar and cinnamon.
  • Roll one portion of dough into 11-inch circle on lightly floured surface; spread with 1 Tbsp. preserves, then sprinkle with 1/4 of the nut mixture. Cut into 16 wedges; roll up, starting at short side of each. Place, point sides down, on prepared baking sheets; shape into crescents. Sprinkle evenly with 1 tsp. cinnamon-sugar. Repeat with remaining dough, preserves, nut mixture and cinnamon-sugar.
  • Bake 25 min. or until lightly browned. Immediately remove from baking sheets to wire racks; cool completely.
