Instructions

  1. In a mixer, combine butter, cream cheese, vanilla, and salt on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Add sugar. Turn mixer to low and add flour just until combined. Divide dough in half and refrigerate for 1 hour.

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine filling ingredients in a small bowl.

    Remove one-half of the dough from the fridge and roll into a 10″ circle. Spread the dough with jam and sprinkle half of the filling over the top. Cut the circle into 12 even wedges. Starting at the wide edge, roll up each wedge crescent-roll style.

    Whisk together egg and cream. Brush over each cookie and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Place on a prepared pan. Repeat with remaining dough and chill for 45 minutes.

    Bake cookies for 28-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Enjoy!
