Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup plus 1 tsp butter, softened, divided
1 8 oz-package cream cheese, softened
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 cups ground walnuts
1 ¼ cups sugar, divided (3/4 cup and 1/2 cup)
½ cup 2 % milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In large bowl, beat 1 cup butter and the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour, beating until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough into four portions and roll each into a 12-inch circle. Melt the remaining butter. In a large bowl, combine the walnuts, ¾ cup sugar, milk, vanilla, salt and melted butter. Spread over circles. Cut each circle into 12 wedges. Roll up wedges starting from the wide ends. Place point side down on greased baking sheets. Curb ends to form crescents. Bake at 325 for 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks. Place remaining sugar in a small shallow bowl. Roll warm cookies in the sugar.
