Basic Holiday Cookies; * see changes below

Directions

Prepare Basic Holiday Cookie dough, with the following changes: Substitute 3 ounces cream cheese for 3 Tbsp. margarine; decrease sugar to ¼ cup and baking powder to ¼ tsp; substitue 1 egg yolk for whole egg, (reserving white for filling). Divide dough into thirds; shape each into disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until well chilled. Meanwhile, prepare filling: Beat egg white until frothy. Mix in 1 cup ground walnuts and ½ cup sugar.

Roll out each dough disk to 6½ to 7" circle. Spread one-third of filling on each circle, leaving ¼ inch border around edge of circle. Cut into 12 wedges. Roll up each wedge from edge to point in center. Place, point side down, on ungreased baking sheets. Bake in 350 F. oven 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. Dust with confectioner's sugar.
