📝 Preparation Steps
1
Make the Dough
2
Cut butter and cream cheese into small pieces.
3
In a large food processor, pulse the flour and salt, then add the butter and cream cheese and pulse until mixture is crumbly.
4
Divide dough into 4 sections and shape each into a disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and chill for ⏱️ 2 hours.
5
Make the Filling
6
Note: I find it easiest to finely chop the nuts and raisins in the food processor, but you can also do it by hand.
7
Stir together the walnuts, brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir in either finely chopped raisins OR mini chocolate chips. (Tip: divide the mixture in half and add 1/4 cup finely chopped raisins to half 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips to the other half.)

Assemble & Bake
9
Roll each disk of dough into a 9-inch round, keeping each disk chilled until ready to roll and fill them. Sprinkle the round with the filling and press it lightly into the dough. Cut each round into 12 wedges (like you’re cutting a pizza). Roll the wedges from wide to narrow, like you do a crescent rolls.
10
Place the cookies with points tucked under onto cookie sheets lined with parchment or silicone baking mats. Chill ⏱️ 30 minutes.
11
Preheat oven to 350°F.
12
Beat egg with milk to create an egg wash. Brush each cookie with the egg wash and sprinkle the outside with the granulated sugar.

13
