Ingredients
- 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 3/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 3 tbs. butter melted
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, 10 minutes before baking. Grease baking sheets.
In mixing bowl, cream butter or margarine and cream cheese. Gradually stir in flour, mix until smooth. Form dough into 3 equal balls; flatten slightly. Wrap and chill at least 3 hours or overnight.
Combine raisins, walnuts, chocolate chips, sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
To bake, roll one ball of dough on floured surface to 12 inch circle. Brush with 1 tbs. of the butter or margarine; sprinkle with 1/3 of the raisin mixture. Roll over filling with rolling pin to press slightly into dough. Cut into pie-shaped wedges. Roll each wedge jelly-roll fashion, beginning from wide end.
Place on baking sheets, points down. Repeat with remaining balls of dough. If desired, brush tops with additional melted butter, sprinkle with additional cinnamon and sugar. Bake about 25 minutes or until golden. Cool on wire racks.
