Walnut Walkaways image

My Mom got this from a newspaper many years ago and doctored it up a bit (MORE cream cheese!) It is a huge hit wherever I take it and the recipe is always in demand. It is definitely the next best thing to chocolate!

Time 55m

Yield 40-48 bars

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (1/4 ounce) package dry yeast (1 tblsp)
1/4 cup warm water
2 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup margarine
1 egg
16 ounces cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 -1 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Dough: Soften yeast in warm water and set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine flour, salt, then cut in margarine to coarse crumbs.
  • Add softened yeast and egg, then blend.
  • Roll the dough out on a floured surface to make two 9" X 13" rectangles.
  • Filling: Beat cream cheese, 1 cup sugar and vanilla until fluffy.
  • Spread half of the filling mixture onto each rectangle of dough.
  • Sprinkle with chopped nuts.
  • Rollup dough, starting from long side.
  • Place seam side down on lightly greased cookie sheet.
  • Cut the roll about half way down, through the center, lengthwise.
  • (This will allow the roll to spread slightly during baking. I like to dash the knife cuts like highway lines so it doesn't spread open too much.)
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, cool slightly.
  • Cut lengthwise, then diagonally into 1" pieces.
  • Dust with powdered sugar.
  • Serve (Best when still warm).
  • Leftovers should be refrigerated.
  • Hint: Filling may be colored to fit your mood or the holiday.
