One of the most popular Hanukkah cookies, these festive horn-shaped crescents are made with cream cheese pastry and filled with the natural sweetness of raisins, walnuts and preserves, so they're sugar-free and safe for diabetics.
Ingredients
- 1 cup margarine
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped raisins
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup apricot spreadable fruit
Cooking Instructions
- Cream together the margarine, cream cheese and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix in the flour. Chill the dough.
- For filling, mix together the chopped raisins, chopped walnuts, and cinnamon. (If you have a food processor, place the whole walnuts and raisins into the bowl, sprinkle with the cinnamon, and chop them together by processing in short pulses.)
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a 10- to 12- inch circle about 1/8-inch thick on a lightly floured board or between two sheets of waxed paper.
- Spread a light layer of preserves (approximately 2 tablespoons) onto each dough circle. Sprinkle each circle with approximately 1/4 cup of the filling.
- Cut each circle into 16 wedges using a pastry cutter or a pizza cutter. Roll each wedge from base to point. Place point down on a lightly greased or parchment lined baking sheets.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes or until golden. Remove to racks to cool.
