Nutjammer Cookies
Chill: 2 hrs
Bake: 9 mins at 375°F per batch
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Nutjammer Filling or Pecan-Honey Filling (see recipes)
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon water
- Sifted powdered sugar (optional)
Directions
1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add flour and baking powder. Beat till combined. Form dough into a ball. Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours or till easy to handle.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the Nutjammer Filling or Pecan-Honey Filling.
3. On a well-floured pastry cloth, roll dough into a 12-inch square. Cut dough into thirty-six 2-inch squares. Place about 1/2 teaspoon of filling in the center of each square. In a small bowl combine egg and water. Lightly moisten the edges of pastry squares with egg mixture. Gently fold 1 corner of the pastry over the filling to make a triangle. Lightly press together edges; seal with fork tines.
4. Place pastry triangles on an ungreased large cookie sheet. Brush with egg mixture.
5. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 9 to 11 minutes or till bottoms are brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool. When completely cooled, sprinkle with powdered sugar, if you like. Makes 36 cookies.

Wow, my mother made these years ago... about 40? I've had the recipe and decided to make them this past Christmas for the first time in a long, long time. They were the biggest hit with my family. Since making the pastry squares can be tricky and time-consuming, I simply cut rounds and placed one on top of the other with the filling and pinched together.
