List of Ingredients
6 ounces cream cheese
1 stick butter
1 stick margarine
2 cups flour and flour for the board
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sour cream
1 egg (separated)
fruit preserves (not jelly, which will ooze
out)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup golden raisins, if desired
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, if desiredRecipe
In a large bowl, cream together the cream cheese, butter, and margarine. Add the
egg yolk and 1/3 cup sour cream. Sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Gradually add flour mixture to the
cream cheese and butter mixture until dough
forms. Mix thoroughly.
Leave at least 3 hours, or overnight in covered bowl in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 330 degrees. Take the egg white out of fridge and set aside.
On a floured board, roll out the dough about 1/4 inch thick and cut in squares 2" by 2" approximately.
Use best-quality preserves. Put about 1/2 tsp of preserves (and a few nuts and raisins if desired) in the middle of each square. Bring the two ends of the diagonal together, and press. Beat the egg white with 1/2 teaspoon of warm water, brush on cookies, and sprinkle with cinammon and sugar.
Place on greased baking sheet. Bake at 330 degrees until golden brown, about 20-22
minutes.
