List of Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups Pillsbury BEST All Purpose or Unbleached Flour
- 1/2 cup finely chopped dates
- 1/2 cup finely chopped shelled pistachios
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
- In large bowl, combine 1 cup butter, 2 tablespoons sugar and cream cheese; beat until light and fluffy.
- Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Add flour to butter mixture; blend well. Shape dough into ball; divide into 4 pieces. Shape each piece into ball; flatten into 1/2-inch-thick disk. Wrap each in plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour for easier handling.

- On floured surface with floured rolling pin, roll out 1 disk of dough at a time to 1/8-inch thickness, forming 12-inch round. (Keep remaining disks of dough refrigerated.) Sprinkle 1/4 of date-nut mixture onto round; press into dough slightly. Cut round into 16 wedges. Roll up each wedge from curved edge to point. Place on greased cookie sheets.
- Bake at 375 F. for 13 to 18 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets; place on wire racks. Cool 30 minutes or until completely cooled. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
