1/2 pound butter
1/2 pound cream cheese
2 C. flour
1 t. baking powder
dash of salt
Filling
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 t. cinnamon
1 cup sugar
3 t. orange juice
Combine & mix well.
Directions:
Cream Butter & Cream Cheese. Combine dry ingredients & add to creamed mixture, mixing well. Gather into a ball, wrap in wax paper to chill. Roll out dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut dough into 3 inch squares. Put a scant teaspoon of filling & roll up from one corner like crescents. Place on ungreased cookie sheet & Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes until light & golden. Remove to cooling rack.
Optional: You may roll in powdered sugar when cool. Or just sprinkle a little on top. I do not usually do this but they are delicious either way.
