Our Test Kitchen home economists give regular round cookies a tasty twist in this recipe. Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
2 egg yolks |
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
6 tablespoons raspberry cake and pastry filling, divided |
2 tablespoons milk, optional |
coarse sugar, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Beat in egg yolks. In another bowl, mix the flour, confectioners' sugar and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
2. Remove from the refrigerator 1 hour before rolling. On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of dough into a 12-in. x 8-in. rectangle. Spread 3 tablespoons filling widthwise over half of the dough. Fold dough in half over filling. Cut widthwise into sixteen 1/2-in. strips. Twist each strip three times; pinch unfolded ends to seal.
3. Place on parchment-paper lined baking sheets. If desired, lightly brush tops with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Bake at 375° for 15-17 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen.
