 Categories: Pastry, Cookies, Nuts, Fruits, Snacks
      Yield: 36 Servings
 
      1 c  Dried cherries and/or dried
           - apricots; finely snipped
    1/4 c  Sugar
    1/4 c  Water
      2 ts Kirsch (opt)
    1/2 c  Fine chopped walnuts
      1 c  Butter; softened
      3 oz Pkg cream cheese; softened
      2 c  All-purpose flour
      2 tb Sugar
           Milk
           Sugar (opt)
 
  FOR FILLING: combine dried cherries and/or apricots, the
  1/4 cup sugar, and the water in a small saucepan. Bring to
  boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes
  or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from
  heat and stir in kirsch, if desired; cool. Stir in
  walnuts.
  
  FOR PASTRY: beat butter and cream cheese in a medium
  mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until
  combined. Add flour and the 2 tablespoons sugar; beat on
  low speed until crumbly, then knead until a dough forms.
  Divide dough into thirds.
  
  Roll one-third of the dough on a lightly floured surface
  into a 9" circle. Spread the dough with one-third of the
  cooled filling. Cut circle into 12 wedge-shape pieces.
  Beginning at wide end of each wedge, roll up dough. Place
  cookies, tip side down, about 2" apart on a greased cookie
  sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Brush each
  cookie with some milk and, if desired, sprinkle with
  sugar.
  
  Bake in a 350ºF/175ºC oven for 15 minutes or till golden
  brown. Transfer to wire racks and cool.
  
  Makes 36 cookies.
