1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs, divided
1 tsp. vanilla
2-1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
3/4 cup strawberry jam
1 tsp. powdered sugar

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F.
Beat cream cheese, butter and granulated sugar in large bowl with mixer until blended. Separate 1 egg; reserve white for later use. Add yolk, second (whole) egg and vanilla to cream cheese mixture; mix well. Gradually beat in combined flour and baking powder until blended.
Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into 12x1-inch log; place, 2 inches apart, on large baking sheet. Use handle of wooden spoon or fingers to make 1/2-inch-wide and 1/2-inch-deep depression down center of each log. Beat reserved egg white with fork; brush over dough. Sprinkle with nuts. Fill depressions with jam.
Bake 25 to 27 min. or until edges are lightly browned. Transfer to wire racks; cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut each log into 12 diagonal slices.
