2 c. flour
1/2 lb. butter
1/2 lb. cream cheese
2 T. cinnamon
6 T. sugar
1/2 c. walnuts, chopped
1/2 c. raisins, chopped

Mix flour, butter and cream cheese. Place dough in waxed paper and leave in refrigerator overnight. On floured board, roll out dough using a small amount at a time, to 1/4" thickness. Cut with round medium cookie cutter. Roll each circle with rolling pin once again. Fill with mixture made of sugar, cinnamon, nuts and raisins. Roll as for a jelly roll and shape into a horseshoe or crescent. Bake at 375° on ungreased cookie sheets. When cool sprinkle with powdered sugar. This same dough is excellent filled with apricot jam and shaped into small turnovers.
