3/4 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon finely shredded lemon, rind of |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 teaspoon vanilla |

1/4 cup finely chopped pecans |
1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs, finely crushed |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, beat the butter and the cream cheese.
2. Add the sugar, lemon peel, lemon juice, and vanilla.
3. Beat in the flour.
4. Divide dough into two portions, then cover and chill for 30 minutes.
5. Shape each portion of dough into 8-inch long rolls.
6. Combine chopped nuts and graham cracker crumbs on a large piece of waxed paper.
7. Roll the 2 dough rolls in this mixture, being sure to coat well.
8. Wrap each roll in the waxed paper chill for at least 2 hours.
