Cream Cheese Walnut Cookies
Cookie Dough:
1 C cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 C butter, softened to room temperature
1-3/4 C flour
2 C shelled walnuts, finely ground
1 egg
3/4 C sugar
Water
Cookie Dough: In a bowl, combine cream cheese and butter; beat until smooth. Sift flour over the top; mix until smooth. Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured work surface; divide into three equal portions and then roll into balls. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about forty minutes.
Filling: In a bowl, combine ground walnuts, egg and sugar. Stir to blend; add just enough water to make a sticky consistency. Set filling aside. Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.
Cookie Assembly: Unwrap dough balls and flour lightly; roll each ball to a one-inch thickness. Cut dough with a round or square cookie cutter; add one teaspoon of filling to each one. If using a round cookie cutter shape, fold dough over into half moons and seal edges with a fork. If using a square cookie cutter shape, roll dough into logs and seal open ends with a fork. Transfer cookies to lightly-greased baking sheets; bake for ten to fifteen minutes or until cookies are lightly browned. Sprinkle with sugar and serve.
